It’s crunch time at the old Shoprite.  Lots of stuff coming together.  Lots of stuff still yet to do before we get in.  A big thanks right up front for all those who have been coming out this week to help with the work.

Over the past few days we’ve seen the installation of the audio/video equipment get done.  Last night we even had a training session with all the guys involved in that ministry (and then we had a singing session when it was all done… it sounds really, really good).  The chairs in the sanctuary have almost all been set up, as well as the drums and the piano.  The heating and air work is pretty much done, done enough to have it turned on for a little bit yesterday before they had to shut it off to seal everything.  Cooled down the sanctuary in about 15 minutes.  The ceiling tile is all in.  The bathrooms are nearly completed, they’re actually usable.  The island has been installed in the kitchen and the counter top on everything else.  There has been a lot of cleaning going on.  Several of the classrooms and offices have had their doors shut after having the walls wiped down and the floors vacuumed.  Windows have been washed.  Painting is almost complete, just a closet or two and a second coat to put up in a couple rooms is left.  Stone work is coming to a close.  The foyer is in the process of being set up and decorated.  It’s really just starting to look less and less like a construction zone and more like a church… which is a good things seeing as it will be used as a church this weekend.

Be praying over the next day or so about us getting the CO.  Tomorrow the inspector is coming to do a, Lord willing, final inspection which will obviously determine whether we will be able to worship here or not.  And, of course, if you’ve got an evening open tonight come on over and we’ll put you to work.
