Share The Vision: What's Happening...

Information Meetings, the Special Event, Pledges, Celebration Sunday, .... it's all over.

Not hardly! Between now and the end of January, all of us can be involved in insuring that our building plans meet Central's needs and vision, that they are consistent with the 3.1 million dollars pledged, and are compatible with our financial needs for ministry.

• The Building Committee is
• processing the many good suggestions from the congregation;
• exploring options that build all the space, defer components not needed in the next several years, and identify critical components where finishing work could be done by the congregation;
• finalizing a contract with the architect.
• researching construction management techniques which will provide the best expense and quality control.
• The financial wizards are
  • exploring ways to minimize interest expense, including loans from the congregation;
  • negotiating a construction loan
  • obtaining a loan guarantee from the Presbytery to the bank to get us the most favorable terms.
• The Session
  • meets on January 8th for a final review of the financial and building plans with our needs and vision;
  • will be having Informational Meetings on Sunday, January 16th, after each service, to provide the latest plans and gather input;
  • is preparing to have the plans for the building reviewed and adopted at the Annual Congregation Meeting at 4:00 pm on Sunday, January 30th, 2005.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28
