The
Sanctuary Building Committee has been very busy since the committee was
formed and first met in early November 2009. So far, the committee has
set the criteria for choosing an architectural firm for the design for
the project, solicited and received proposals from nine architectural
firms, and begun interviews of four firms. We hope to recommend one
architectural firm for the design work and ask for congregational
approval in mid-March. Then design work with the Architect can begin
after Easter.
We
have two important events coming up in April that you won't want to
miss. On April 11th we will have a "Breakfast and Building Committee
Update". On April 25th we will have a "Breakfast and Presentation on
Possible Art". Mark both of these events on your calendar. More
information will be posted in the near future.
The
following are serving on the Sanctuary Building Committee: Wilma Adams,
Pastor Bangert, Jim Bennight, Steve Emmons, Karen Hornbuckle, Vicar
Hopkins, LuAnn Kaaz, Stacy Landers, Curt Mauldin, Gary Quaethem,
Deb Stelzer, David Timm, Terry Witthaus and Beth Woll. Please feel free
to contact any of these members if you have ideas to share for the new
sanctuary.
