Week of 2-2-09

This week has also been pretty interesting. We discovered another underground water pipe with our equipment! While grading the area between the church and school we hit the pipe supplying the church and the 2 first grade classrooms.

There sure is a lot of buried stuff that isn’t on the map around here. We had the water back on in an hour or two. Thanks to the folks at the school for being so understanding.

The preparation for paving is proceeding although we still have a few weeks before that will be done. Each area has to be edged, dug out and filled back in with shell rock as a bed for the new asphalt. While it’s all exposed we are installing conduit to each “island” for irrigation and electric (landscape lighting or Christmas lights).

Take a moment to look out the doors to the narthex and you can see that the block walls are complete and the fill for the floor is leveled out and near where it will be when finished. The size of the new narthex is a little easier to see now.

Don’t forget to check out the latest photos on line through the church website http://www.stjoesweb.org/ . Just click on and follow the “Make Room at the Inn” logo on the Home page and the Capital Campaign page.

Or just ask…

Peace, Ric Filer

Capital Campaign

On behalf of St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church we would like to thank each and every one of you for your generous contributions to the Capital Campaign Fund. Your time, talent and treasure will go a long way to fulfilling our mission of outreach to the community by providing the facilities that are sorely needed in these challenging times. As the parishioners that came before us many years ago , you can be especially be proud to think that future generations will benefit from all that we endeavor to build today.

In early 2009 we plan to compete the Narthex remodeling and hopefully start on the next phase of our continued expansion. As you know, the ongoing cost of our building project continues. We hope for your continued support in 2009. May God bless you and may God bless St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church.
