The elders continue to work with Sted McCulough (of Stedmann McCollough Architecture Gulf Shores, AL) and Scott Hawkins (our appointed G.C.) about the progress of the building projects. There will be a meeting on Sunday, April 1 to discuss some changes to the layout/design and cosmetic issues that are being resolved. The look of the buildings on the boards will not change much, but we are discussing the possibility of moving the offices around so as to incorporate a full gymnasium in the multi-purpose room.
All the soil samples have been taken. The proper forms and documents have been filed, or are near completion. After we have "jumped through all the hoops" the project will get underway. Therefore, we anticipate, and it is our prayer, for the congregation to see the breaking of ground before Summer! The project will take several months, so please be patient.
In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding the project, please see the elders. If you would be willing to help in this endeavor using your God-given talents, we will be taking bids for the work. We also encourage you to be considering financial gifts to the GULF SHORES BUILDING FUND to assist with our work. There is also a separate fund set aside for the playground (current total is $2,275).
Thank you for your support and prayers!!!
