Progress

On Friday morning, Terry Stone, Rollie Gidney and I met with our insurance adjuster and a few contractors.  The focus of the meeting was to lay out the specs of our old building so the contractors could put together an estimate of what it would have cost to replace it just like it was.  This was for insurance purposes only.  Do not interpret this to mean that we are thinking of rebuilding just like it was. 

During our meeting, we also got the go ahead to clean up the old sight and passed along a list of contents to the adjuster.  The cleanup will take place sometime this week.  Our thanks to Earl Goudy who is generously donating his labor for this task.

On Friday afternoon, the building committee took a trip to Yarmouth where we toured Hebron Baptist and Yarmouth Wesleyan churches.  The Hebron church was almost a perfect fit for what we might be looking at and we were all quite impressed with many of the features of the building.   Yarmouth Wesleyan is obviously quite a bit larger than anything we would need, yet we also gleaned some good ideas from talking with Pastor Dave and it was nice to look at another well built and kept church. 

It has been a busy week, but I am looking forward to worshipping with all tomorrow morning in Weymouth.  I know that it is a stretch for some of you to make the trip to church, but I appreciate your continued support as we look ahead to the plans God has for us.  I will be starting something new in our service, taking a few minutes to give a quick update of where we are, so that all are kept as up to date as possible on our progress. 

It will be a pleasure to welcome Cora Gorman to our service in the morning.  Hope to see you all there!
