April 23

Thank you for the very strong turn-out for the April 18 congregation meeting. The call to encumber church property for the purpose of securing a construction loan was unanimously approved!. Thank you to Don Hazen and Alan Hope for their presentations. We now have both Diocesan and Congregational approval to proceed with financing. I met with Nick, Christine Kelly, Alan Hope, John Young, and Don Hazen on Monday, April 19, to determine the path forward and map out our next steps to get us to construction start in mid-June. There are several moving parts that we are working to sync-up to keep the project on schedule. The Vestry is engaged and taking proactive steps in order to turn on our construction contractor as soon as our loan is approved by the bank. Please keep us in your prayers as we work to execute the plan for this complex project.
