The guys are here today redoing the asphalt in the parking lot - they have a really big couple of days ahead of them, but it is looking so good! For those of you visiting us this week, please DO NOT DRIVE INTO THE PARKING LOT. There's a parking lot across the street from us that we are asking everyone to use. The parking lot should be ready to use for church this Sunday.
Thank you all for cooperating with us on this, and we are sorry for any inconvenience.
It's been about 5 months since we started raising money and renovating the church.
We were right about NOT hitting our deadline by Easter Sunday...
BUT...we are going to be finished in no time!
Thank you to everyone that has helped support us.
Bless you all.
Just another day on the worksite!
Thanks for all your support.
Our goal is still to make the renovations with this fundraiser (and not have to dip into the other church funds)...
Thank you to all those that have volunteered the paint and those that are doing the actual work.
We're getting there!
With the money that we've raised, we are able to go ahead and have the painters start on the north side of the chapel.
Please continue to share this need for money for our church so that we can finish the painting and not have to dip into other church funds.
It's that time again.
We're not passing the plate, we're asking you outright.
WE NEED MONEY TO RENOVATE THE CHURCH!
It would be a shame if we left our old church building the way it is; weather beaten, chipped paint, broken parking lot. It is our responsibility as a congregation to come together and make our house of worship worthy of it's glory.
We recognize that many of you are regular tithers and that doing this project may exceed your regular donation to the church, but we feel that it is necessary to make these improvements now to ensure that this church remains here for many generations.
We have been communicating with many contractors in our area and have developed the most economical plan to renovate our church professionally. We found many men who are willing and able to help in many ways, without charging us.
Some nice young men have donated the actual paint, we just need to pay the contractors to paint the building. The exterior can be painted and weather-proofed for $7,500. (this is a deal...trust us). We need to re-roof the entire church, and re-carpet the interior. The church needs all new windows and resurfacing of the parking lot asphalt (and then painting).
The general contractor has estimated that this complete renovation will cost approximately $400,000.
We know this may not be done by Easter, but it would be nice to have it done before it's so hot and muggy outside. And, we would all just like to drive up to our place of worship and be proud of what it looks like. We are asking you all to helping us with this project by donating and sharing this project with everyone. Thank you for your generosity.
The great people in the city of Tampa - We need your support!
(Irma will be in charge of bookkeeping for this project and you will be emailed a receipt with the church's tax ID number on it for you to use as a tax deduction).
