New Classroom Building
12/27/04
|
Our new classroom building represents the first major physical expansion of our church since its building in 1994. It
will provide a large, central general purpose room plus four side classrooms/day care rooms/offices, two large and two
small. The central room is a large, open space which will accommodate a variety of activities, including sizeable
meetings. To the left of this large central space are two restrooms, one handicap equipped. One of the smaller
side rooms has a bench with a sink to handle child care needs. All four side rooms are carpeted, and the two larger
side rooms are sound proofed for privacy when needed. Chet Burgess is overseeing the construction of a deck on
the front of the unit which will join the two entrances and provide a handicap ramp. The classroom building will be
painted to match the church, and we expect that it will look like an integral part of our church.
Evergreen was able to purchase this unit by refinancing our mortgage to a much lower interest rate, even while reducing
the term of the loan for a faster (10 year) payoff! This classroom building will bridge an anticipated 10-year transition
in membership growth as we approach our ultimate goal of adding a new sanctuary to the left of the church's front
entrance, on the grassy field to the west.
We will be begin laying the sidewalk to the classroom building on New Year's day, 9:00 AM. We will
continue
working on this each Saturday morning from 9:00-11:00 AM until it is completed (2 to 3 weeks). Please join us in this
project if you can! Your help is much needed and will be greatly appreciated. God's blessings to all.
