Special Congregational Meeting Summary
We are Stepping Forward in Faith
On Sunday, September 25, 2011, 89 congregational voting members gathered to vote on proceeding with the proposed building project as presented by the Facility Task Force( FTF) with costs not to exceed $1,240,000.00. A ‘yes’ vote meant the Church Council (with advice from the FTF) has both the authority and the responsibility to oversee all phases of construction and financing.
President Mary Barber called the meeting to order and explained the process for the day. After discussion concerning financing and current architect drawings available, Esther LePage rose to share she was in favor of the project and that she was ready to vote. A second was heard, 74 members voted yes to move forward with the project 10 members voting no.
This yes votes means we will begin to secure financing for a construction loan and long term loan. The Architects will move forward with more detailed plans so that in December the project will be ready for bids. The building project includes a remodel of the current upstairs classrooms and the addition of two new classrooms, on the main level the courtyard will be covered to provide fellowship space, other areas (fireside, coffee room, nursery, library, bathrooms) reconfigured and a central stairs will move us visibly and easily between church levels.
This is a very exciting time. Please continue to feel free to ask questions and keep this project and the congregational leadership in your prayers.
