Week Wrapping Up

Tuesday night was hopping around here. There were 15-20 people who were out on site for our work night...moving stuff, throwing stuff, putting up plastic for painting, tackling projects here and there. Thanks to all who could come out.

Here's what is happening on site this week:
  • Back Half of the Building: Has been taped and mudded. Sanding and texturing in that part is currently being worked on; by the end of next week all classrooms, children's theater and hallway should be painted
  • The tile floors in the bathrooms have all been laid
  • Light fixtures are installed in the cafe and just starting in the back rooms
  • About a third of the stonework on the tower has been completed. Next week that should be complete.
  • Inside doors will all be delivered by early next week
  • Carpet and chairs have been ordered
We're having work nights on Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week. Come on out from 4-9pm if you want to lend a hand.

Week K Builders for Christ profiles

With our last week of Builders for Christ groups that came in, we have Bob and Sue Steen from Valley Baptist Church in Appleton, WI who shared with us a little about themselves.

There were 24 people in their group. Sue helped prepare meals, and Bob worked on ceiling tiles. They have 3 grown children. Bob works as a chemist and Sue is a homemaker. They have been members of Valley Baptist for 9 years. They're involved in adult discipleship and financial counseling. They have been working 9 years with their church's building team, many of those with Builders for Christ. They enjoyed getting to know the people on the other teams and members of Jacob's Well.

Thanks so much to all the teams from Week K. We'll miss having everyone around. It's been great to catch up with people we met in 2006 and getting to know some new brothers and sisters. God Bless you!
