A great video, we enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

May has been a very good month for the building project. The electrical work has been completed and a final inspection done and approved. Unfortunately, with the long days we have to go up late at night to enjoy the outside lighting that was the last part of the electrical to be finished.

The sidewalks have been completed and the handicapped parking poured.

The vinyl flooring in the entry has been received and is currently being installed in the foyer and the East hallway. It looks great. The carpet will be installed later this month (June). The carpet layers think they can complete the whole job in two days. That means there is no time to move stuff from room to room and keep ahead of the installers. Everything needs to be removed from the building. We need everyone’s help. If you have taken stuff up to the church, please remove it. The kitchen is where we will put the chairs and the piano. The carpet will be staged in the foyer. Everything else must be stored in the container or taken home and returned later. It will be good to have everyone’s cooperation.

Outside, the landscaping has been done. Shrubs, bushes, and trees have been planted and beauty bark spread. It looks great. A flag pole has been installed. These finishing touches make the place look complete. Future projects include final grading, paving the driveway entrance, and spreading gravel. We also need to do some cabinet work in the kitchen and restrooms.

We thank you for your support! We are still short of funds to finish everything, but we have faith that God will continue to provide.

Due to technical issues, the sermon will not be posted until next week. Thank you all for your patience and prayers.

Join us for a three week study on Christmas!

Due to technical difficulty the sermon posting will be delayed. It is expected to be online next week. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

God continues to bless the building project. With the completion of the agreement with the RCC and the signing of the final contract we have been able to move ahead with the fire sprinkler and hydrant water system. We have excavated all of the trenches for the piping. RCC tapped the six inch main in Yoman Road and installed a six inch valve. White’s Construction then excavated the trench across Yoman Road and we moved the old four inch pipe and installed new six inch pipe. The roadway was back-filled and repaved and sealed. We are now awaiting delivery of vault (update of update: delivered) which will house the double back flow preventer. We are thankful for God’s blessing and all the contractors that worked together to make this all happen. We have sufficient funds on hand to finish the water project.

People have responded very generously to our latest requests for funds for specific projects. The plumbing fixtures and doors have all been subscribed and mostly paid. Most of the electrical lighting projects were also subscribed to and those funds have already begun to be made available.

God bless you all,

The Building Committee

Progress has been made on the building project in several areas.

The building permit has been reviewed and extended.

Water samples were taken from the well and tested successfully by the lab. Results have been sent to the Tacoma Pierce County Health department.

Interior window and door trim has been painted and installed. Replacement emergency exit compliant door hardware has been installed on the single external doors.

Interior doors have been hung for the restrooms. The restrooms are now functional with toilets, sinks and doors.

The parking lot is being graded with the final work expected to be completed this week.

A letter of agreement has been signed with Riviera and the water contract is being prepared. Please support the chat session and board meeting on July 30th

The building project has about $39,000 currently in the bank.

God bless you and thank you for your support.

The Building Committee.

There will be a one week delay in posting the sermon from May 23rd. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Building Project Update- April 11, 2010

In the last month we have made some substantial progress- praise the Lord. We have completed laying the tile in the kitchen, nursery, restrooms, North hallway, and closets. We have also installed a toilet in each restroom and put up doors on the restrooms. We have been informed that Pierce County Planning and Land Services (PALS) has approved our revised application for an on-site fire hydrant and fire sprinkler hookup. It now needs to be presented to the Riviera BOT. Please mark your calendars and show your support by being in attendance at the chat session and the board meeting on April 30th at 11:00 AM and & 7:00 PM respectively. More importantly, we request that all of you pray daily that we find favor in this endeavor.

Thank you, The AICF Building Committee
