First Service - November 13

Our first service is approaching. Last weekend during our worship services, we announced the first 10:00am service will be on Sunday, November 13. That allows us less than a month to get the last building tasks completed. Our original target date for completion was October 30 and we'll still keep that from a sub-contractor and volunteer work perspective. We have two weeks of work dates this week and next.

This week on site, here is the work to be done....
  • Paving the parking lot
  • Retaining wall completed
  • Concrete patio poured
  • Carpet in 3 of the classrooms
  • Plumbing and bath fixtures finished
With every passing day, it becomes clearer to see how incredible the new space will be for the youth. Both MS and HS youth groups are eager with anticipation of opening the building!!

Fun Day!

The team of 8 volunteers who showed up today and worked hard. The parking lot is almost completely cleared and ready for blacktop. The garage is now all organized and the building has been cleaned up. Much work was done in the student auditorium and now ready for the contractors and week night volunteers to continue with stage construction, electrical and sound install.

Also, the site is ready for carpet, bathroom fixtures, and cafe area countertops.

Great day on the site!

Work Day - Saturday

I am organizing a work day on Saturday to clean up in the building and our future parking lot. Greg hopes to have the parking lot paved in the next couple of weeks. If you can help, shoot me an email (patrick@jacobswellec.org)...or if you can't commit now...just show up. I'll be on site from 7am-11am on Saturday.

We'll have both regular work crews this week.....tonight and tomorrow night.

The stage and the tiered seating are being built today! It really addes a new dimension to the auditorium!!

First Service!!

We have set a date for our first service in the new addition. We are planning for Sunday, October 30th to have the back of the building open for children's ministry and the front of the building will launch our 4th service, which will be a 10am Sunday service. There is much work to be done, but we believe we can get there by the 30th.

This is NOT our grand opening service. We would like to try out the new venue for a month or so before we have an official grand opening service. We'll have many kinks to work out....stay tuned to hear when that date becomes set!
