PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS

Progress is being made, slowly, but all church members can now voice their opinion on which floor plan they prefer for the church building. The church committee met last night and approved two floor plans, A and B, to be put in the Cross Plains Public Library with silhouette elevations (because we have a lot of decisions about what the outside will look like) for viewing by church members all week April 24 - 28. Then on Sunday April 30 everyone can vote for the one plan they prefer. Then the committee can get back to work on the gillions of decisions about brick color, floor coverings, etc. that have to be made to finish the drawings and start cutting metal for the beams and columns.

The Parsonage committee also met last night and didn't sign their contract because they are waiting for the finished plans. They will meet again Monday night at 7:30 to hopefully complete the contract and start preparing a foundation. They did stake the corners after dark last night so someone ought to look at it in the light of day.

I remain ever the optimist that we will have a new parsonage and a new church this year.

Remember that this Sunday will have a lot of things to participate in. Sandra Jones will be ordained by the Presbyterians as a new deacon. We will have our pot-luck dinner where Dr. Henry Chisholm will be honored for his service. He will preach April 30 while pastor Senkel gets a well-deserved short vacation before the revival starts May 7.
