Indiana Jones and the Plot Plan Approval

What does Indiana Jones and our plot plan approval have in common? Archaelogy. Believe it or not, one of the dozen county departments that sign off on our plot plan is Archaeology. Maybe it's to make sure there isn't buried treasure, or dinosaurs camped out on our land. Anyway...we got approval from the Archaeologist! That makes two approvals down, about ten to go.

Keep praying as our plot plan goes through the county.

Plot Plan Approval Update

Our Plot Plan is currently in the approval process with the county.  Getting the plot plan approved is what gives us official permission to build our proposed church on the property. 

As you can see from the screenshot above (if you have really good eyes), it will be reviewed by about a dozen different departments.  Good news, we're already approved by the Fire Department!

Once each department has signed off, it will go to a Planning Director's meeting for formal approval.  Please pray with us for the speedy approval of our plot plan. 

P.S.  If you want to stay up to date on the details of our approval status, you can go to this website at the planning department and enter our plot plan number - "pp23454".  It will pull up the screen you see at the top of the page with an up to the minute update. 

P.S.S. Thank to everyone who is giving to Growing in Faith!

May Financial Update

As you know, each month, as the Growing In Faith giving comes in, an amount is set aside for the monthly mortgage payment, cumulative taxes, project management, association dues, insurance, etc. This amount is approximately $12000.00. The total May GIF giving was $9,786.00. That means we were short by about $2,200.00.

Even though May marks our fifth consecutive month with a deficit, we have been able to move forward in spite of this continuing shortage. This is because of the equity that has built up in our property. However, our development "nest egg" is being slowly used up to cover the monthly shortfall.

May GIF giving $9,786.00
Minimum to “pay bills” $12,000.00
Difference ($2,214.00)

Please pray that God will give us the ability to remain strong in our commitments and that He will bless the finances of our members and our church.
