That About Sums it Up

Before I toss a bunch of new ideas at you, here is where we're at right now

1. We are purchasing land at 3001 Tuttle Creek Blvd. We started with a $450,000 mortgage, but were able to lower it to $202,000 with the sale of the Fremont house and some other stuff. Through 2007 we received $11,380 as part of 2Y2L (catchy acronym for 2 years to land). So, according to reliable sources, as of the beginning of 2007, we have only $191,000 to go. Kirk says they've received more commitment statements since the annual meeting so we're coming closer all the time to a new building.

2. The building committee is tossing around some things. I'll give more details when we have them.

That's the boring details. But it doesn't really give the full story. The land is beautiful, with a view overlooking KSU agricultural fields. The congregation gathered there with the property sellers and the current residents to plant a tree. Members of the church are talking together about what this building could be and how it could reflect who we are and what God has planned for us.

What is your vision for the building our congregation will gather in? What do you believe that God has planned for us?
