New Cafe!!

The cafe area is starting to take shape. It will serve as our HS and MS cafe on youth nights.The cafe will be a second Oasis area on Sundays.  In a week or two, a granite counter top will be placed on it...which will give it an awesome feel!

Sat. Morning Work Crew

Hey JW! We are looking for help on the building site tomorrow (Saturday) between 7am-Noon. We would like to get the BFC trailer organized and packed up. What a resource those tools and equipment was to use. We haven’t had a specific construction clean up night in several weeks, so the the building is in need of some clean up. Greg, our construction manager will be around giving direction. Just show up at the site in the morning even if it only for a couple of hours.

While out there, you'll get to see the progress....children's theater lighting, interior doors all over the place, the two connectors are being worked on, and front tower has window frames in them!

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Site News

Time to fill you in on the project....it has been too long.

First, and foremost, we have amazing people at Jacob's Well. We have had three weekly work nights for the past 4-5 weeks. These teams have just taken the orders Greg has provided and worked as hard as they could to get work accomplished. These teams have been crucial in getting sod laid, stages built, acoustical wall treatment designed and installed, light fixtures hung, along with many other project or clean up needs. Thank you to the leaders (Rick, Rick, Roxann) and all those who have served on those teams.

Here are a few updates on the building....
  • Retaining wall is complete around the back half of the building. They will continue working on it as they make their way to the front
  • Sod has been delivered and laid behind and around the side of the building
  • Tower to be finished? We have had some delays but hopefully this week the tower will be complete
  • Most of the interior doors are hung (Thanks Gary!!)
  • Cafe area ceiling and walls have been painted...looks great!
  • Floors have been scrubbed and cleaned in back half of the building in prep for carpet
We'll try to get you some fresh pictures of the progress in the next week or two.

Couple of prayer requests....please pray for the arrival of the carpet and the chairs. Once we know the delivery of both, we will be able to lock down our date for the first service!!
