On June 11, 2009 an email went out to
all members of Living Water Lutheran that we had email addresses for.
A subsequent mailing went to everyone who does not have an email
address registered at the church office.
The purpose of the email was to recap
the Communications Forum that was held on May 31, 2009 after the
Sunday Service. All of the details of that Forum are included in the
email. If you did not receive it please advise Marcia Page at the
Church office and she will see that you receive the information.
The Playground is completed today on June 12, 2009. Thanks to the work of the McGaugh Family and the Smith Family, we have a wonderful new playground. The photos below depict the first test of the playground and it seems to be acceptable by the initial testers.
When we awarded the bid to Adolfson Peterson Construction Company in January of 2009, it was agreed that they would start in early February and complete the building on May 13th. This was an aggressive schedule but they said they were up for it. The building was delivered to Living Water with occupancy on May 13th as promised. There were a few little odds and ends (mostly extras that we had requested) that were done in the few weeks following. Overall, Adolfson Peterson Construction was a pleasure to work with as will be agreed by all that came into contact with them from Living Water. We will provide an update with specific names of people involved with the project just prior to the Building Dedication which will be held on Sunday, July 12, 2009.
The first official use of the building (other than nursery which opened on June 7) will be the Bible School for 2009 which will be a record year for attendance. Next year we can even plan for greater numbers for that event to fully use the expanded space.
On July 12, the building will be open for viewing, the playground will be completed, the property landscape will all be updated and the Church will be certainly "Bound for Greater Things".
The following photos show the work that has been done on the property along with views of the church and Pinnacle Peak from the 2nd floor.
Less than one month remains to building completion! The exterior stucco has been applied, the elevator is in, the walls of the second floor interior are being put up. Lot's of little details yet to be covered in the next month, but the project is in great hands with A&P on site manager Pete. Great time to watch this progress for this next month.
Important
Notice: All members of the Living Water Congregation are asked to
read through this update thoroughly. This communication provides a
status on the transition process, an update regarding Pastor Marcia
and dates for upcoming events.
Transition
Process: Much
has happened at Living Water since our last formal Transition
Communication. In the first communication, we outlined the 5
Pastoral Leadership Transition Steps provided by the ELCA Grand
Canyon Synod. As we move into Step 3, the Church Council wanted to
provide you an update on our progress to date and the next steps as
we move toward identifying our new Senior Pastor.
