(Submitted for the Building Vision Ad-hoc Committee whose members are Stef Beemsterboer, Joan Fekete, Ellen Hamilton, Liz Hance)

On May 2nd from 11:45 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., the Building Vision Ad-hoc Committee is presenting the feasibility study of the sanctuary redesign to the entire congregation, as well as the next steps to be taken if we decided to continue with this project. We hope that many –if not all of you — stay after worship to participate in the discussion and vote.

This ad-hoc committee needs to receive support from the congregation in order to continue to meet with housing authorities and other funding sources for this project. In truth, there is much support coming from various organizations which are encouraging us to pursue this vision, however, in order for us to move forward, we need to have your approval.

This redesign, as you will come to know during the presentation, holds many ramifications — structural changes, further ministry outreach, and even income resource. We hope that you are willing to listen to the vision of the work and to provide some thoughtful reflection on how this is expressing the love of God to our surrounding community.
