On Saturday (June 29) a team of volunteers will be moving the brick pavers currently along the west side of the Grace building -- the first construction related step in our Ministry Expansion project. The work begins at 9 a.m.
What does this mean? Individual bricks, currently forming the patio outside the children's wing, need to be dug up, carried and stacked in a location out of the way. These bricks will be saved for use in the new expansion.
Using volunteers for this project is one of the ways the people of Grace can both keep the construction costs lower and also put in a little "sweat equity" for this project. It is not too late to volunteer! Just bring your willing heart and help us clear the way for the professional construction crews who will be arriving in a few weeks. (You might also want a pair of gloves.)
Remember, too, that a formal groundbreaking service will be held at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, June 30. Everyone -- from the youngest to the oldest in the church -- should bring a hammer. Some of us will gather in the area off the children's wing where the new youth wing will be added. Others will gather outside the fellowship hall where that part of the expansion will occur. Pastor Powell, armed with a bullhorn, will lead us from in between. It is sure to be a joyous occasion! Don't be late, though! We need to be done in time for the 10:45 worship service.
