You'll notice over the next month or so that we’ll be making several improvements to the building that we’ve wanted to do for some time. A fresh mural for the exterior panels will be going up with a simple concept that speaks of our dreams for Providence. We are researching different chair companies to get the best deal on sanctuary chairs that are all the same in size and comfort. About 100 of the present sanctuary chairs will head to the Valley kids area in the lower level where all kinds of wonderful improvements will be happening. We will be expanding the common area, building a stage, reconfiguring classrooms, painting, and carpeting. A small office is being constructed in the sanctuary so the pastor (me) has a place to put his books, prepare sermons and watch Classical High soccer games. In the cafe, a new larger counter is being built which will give workers twice as much space to work and will also solve some safety and security issues in that area. That being said, things in various parts of the building will be unusable some weeks. The Valley will be in the lounge off the cafe until the lower level is completed. Pray that all these improvements would go smoothly. We decided not to do a special campaign to raise money simply because we've done so many campaigns in recent years. Because of solid consistent giving, we've been able to save up sufficient funds to make all of this happen.
