BUILDING PROGRESS

This building committee is going to make an old man out of me. We met last night from 7:30 to 10:30 tweaking Plan B. Now the congregation is going to have two different looking church plans to choose from. Plan A will have the sanctuary with a separate Fellowship Hall and a classroom office building between them. Plan B will have the sanctuary in the center with classrooms and office on one side and the Fellowship Hall on the other. Each one will be about the same cost in my opinion, so it will be a matter of what will feel more comfortable to us.
We are delaying the construction schedule by a month while we back up and look at the two different designs. We hope to do one more iteration by the committee and then have both sets of plans for about a week in the Cross Plains Library for anyone to offer their suggestions and improvements and have a vote some Sunday after church to choose the best one. Then we can start signing contracts and ordering metal fabrication, or as we say in the aerospace business, "shoot the engineer and start cutting metal".
The Parsonage committee is rumored to be ready to sign their contract and should be setting stakes and clearing the site soon.
