ELECTRIFYING NEWS

No, this is not a 3 family burial vault with a hatch for viewing!
This is the box in the parking lot that houses the connections for the new electrical service. The slot coming toward you in the picture goes all the way to Eagle road. It is for a 13.2 thousand volt feed to the box. A transformer about the size of a volkswagen beetle standing on it's bumper will be installed on top of the box. There is a second slot in the parking lot that goes from the box to the church building ( left from the pipe sticking up from the hole). It enters in the small room in 103 that is next to the Library wall. This is for the 1200 Amp service to the church. This is quite a bit larger than your service at home which is usually 200 Amp or less.

If you were listening in last Sunday service when Jody made his announcement you already know that we are back on schedule for the work being done. The architects have been contacted to see if we can reduce the cost by moving the elevator inside the building. The wooden stakes in the lawn are for positioning the exterior lighting for the property.

Also, we are pursuing a building loan from two banks at the same time.
This loan is needed to finance the work until the funds come in over the three year period of the pledges. This would be a good time to make a pledge if you haven't done so.

Your continued prayer for the New Century project is appreciated.

Pastor Gregg's new office is progressing



This is 2 views of Pastor Gregg's new office across the street. The walls went from wooden studs to drywall over metal studs. The heat is working now!

The colors for walls and carpeting are being selected. Furniture layouts are being done. The facility should be ready sometime in January.

This is a trial post for multiple pictues merged together.

NCC Progress in the Fellowship Hall

Hi,
This is Dave Frank.
Pastor Bob asked if I would post information here regarding pictures and news as I receive it.

Are you wondering what in the world is happening behind the walls in the fellowship Hall? So was I, so I went in and took some pictures while I was there.
There are ADA compliant bathrooms being installed. This picture was taken 12/09/2007 and it shows the walls (without the sheetrock) and some plumbing. I'll try to post some other pictures but am still learning how to post here.

I have some pictures from the office across the street and will post some of those as well.
I have asked my daughter (the artsy one in the family) to update the NCC board in the fellowship hall with pictures an news also. Stop by and look while you get your coffee on Sunday mornings.

As Pastor Bob announced Sunday, we are having difficulty with the building loan for the construction cost. If you would like to help, make a pledge (or an additional pledge) or just make a donation for NCC. If the funds come in up front, we won't even need a loan. This time of year we get lots of letters asking for financial help at our house. Make Grace Chapel high on your list of places to help.

Dave
