Wow! I can't believe it's been almost a week since I have updated this... things with our building purchase have taken off! And it's turkey season...so, that means lots of additional meetings, phone calls, planning and running up and down the road chasing turkeys in the early morning hours.
God is totally awesome! His math is the best! Our contract is for $360,000 and today the appraisal came back at $375,000... which was our last counter offer which they rejected and countered at $360,000! God's math, you gotta love it!
Then the funds are rolling in too! This week we collected $5,395 beyond our commitments which takes us to almost $212,000!!! Over 139,000 for the year. And over $137,000 for April alone!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful to be part of such an amazing and faithful group of Jesus followers!
Our Leadership Team is anticipating going to settlement on May 16! And is forming 4 teams to help with the transition... 1. A Prayer Team -- to under gird this whole transition and our outreach efforts, 2. An Outreach Team -- to lead us in ways to connect with our new neighbors, 3. A Building Improvement Team -- to lead our remodeling efforts, and 4. A Decoration Team -- to work at decorating issues. The next few weeks will have us working very hard to make things happen so that we can move into our new facility on or before July 1.
On settlement day, we anticipate a new sign going up that announces... "Coming Soon... Community of Joy... Where Relationships Matter.... www.joyfilled.com." Followed by a permanent sign with all our info and another sign that announces our opening day! At present that is July 1!
