Parking Lot Renovations
The
Trustees have contracted with Aztec Paving to resurface our parking
lots. This work is necessary to prevent further erosion of our parking
areas which would lead to significantly increased costs to repair in the
future. The project will proceed in two phases with the first phase
being started and completed this week (the week of August 6th). In this
first phase, areas of excessive wear will be ground down and repaved. We
are also adding additional limited mobility parking spaces and
improving the ADA compliance of all of our limited mobility spaces. In
the second phase, which will start the week of October 2nd, and take
about 6 days, the entire parking area will be sealed and re-striped. The
reason for the delay in sealing is to allow the newly paved areas to
fully cure before sealing.
All of the parking lot work will be done in sections so that access to our campus will always be available during the week. Each Sunday the entire parking lot will be available for our use. There will be some inconvenience to visitors during the week but the end result will be a safe and clean parking lot which will give us years more of use. |

Impact Sunday is Coming August 12
Please join us for Impact Sunday on August 12 at 8:30 a.m.! Impact
Sunday is a day for the church to work "outside our walls," joining
together to serve the community as a collective act of worship and
service. We will start in the sanctuary for a short call to worship,
disperse to several community service projects, and return to gather
over food and share our experiences. (We will be finished and fed by 1
p.m.) This is a great opportunity to strengthen our connections with
each other and serve our community!
