Design Team Update:
We are reviewing and selecting materials and colors for the interior and exterior of our new church. This includes the various flooring materials, wall surfaces, lighting design, and use of stone and brick.

Construction
Leaders: Tom Bourassa and Tim Klein
At this time, we are waiting for a survey of the site to mark the area that the trees are to be cut. We will get a permit for the stump and tree removal. There are six contractors interested in removing the stumps and trees. Karen Gray has agreed to be the official photographer, so be watching for her photos on this website. The Construction Team has been charged with the task of designing a maintenance building that matches the exterior of the church and has a shop included. The Team is also going to be designing the classroom area which is in the lower level of the church.

Communication & Publications
Leaders: Ann McCormick and Mary Hagen
The Communications Team met last Thurs., Apr. 10. At that meeting we formed a subcommittee to work on the invitation to groundbreaking which will be in this week’s bulletin. We also made plans to update the display in the back of the winter church with the construction timeline and a countdown to groundbreaking. The gifting opportunities brochure will be made available to interested people on Memorial Day weekend and will be available throughout the course of the summer. Information from the Transition Team and the Construction Team is needed before work can begin  on the brochure, and that information should be forthcoming shortly. We will make a presentation on a DVD to play in the back of the summer church. It will be updated with current pictures and information every couple of weeks.

Building Advisor Team
The Building Advisory Team has asked the captains of each of our teams to meet with them at their weekly meetings in order to coordinate all our efforts in order to make sure that everyone is well informed about what's happening.

Transition Team
The Transition Team has some questions about the display of giving to the old church buildings. Father and Mick will attend their next meeting scheduled for Mon., Apr. 28.

Interior Design Team
The Interior Design Team
The Design Team has determined the color, size and material of floor tile we prefer for the center aisle, side aisles and hallway to the Social Hall. The choice of brand will be determined by cost. We have also determined the color and thickness of the marble to be used on the base of the altar, the back wall behind the crucifix, and the sanctuary floor and steps. Again, these choices will be determined by the costs. Those areas of the entire church that are to be carpeted have also been determined.

Our groundbreaking is April 27th!
We will be posting updates of the building project
from each team on a weekly basis.

Upon this Rock I will build My Church
