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!

Thanks Saturday Crew

Greg was thrilled this morning when he told me about the progress the Sat. morning crew made. Much of the BFC trailer is packed up and lots of building clean up and other projects were accomplished! Thanks to all who came out to help!!

We'll have more work nights and Saturdays as we get closer to getting a date on the calendar of when we'll host our first service.

By the way, did you see the tower this weekend?? It is finished....and it looks great!!

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.

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!!
