SIGNIFICANT ITEMS TO PLAN FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

  1. Parking Connection - $5,000 to apply sealant and re-stripe in spring 2004 (inc. Parking Connection Budget above.  Then set aside $1,000 per year in order to continue appropriate maintenance program every 5 years.
  2. Structural Connection – Set aside $20,000 to $25,000 per year for the next 4 or 5 years to re-roof the sanctuary at that time.  Also possible additional funds needed to fix beam and leaks (will know this info in the coming weeks).

 

CREATIVE FUNDING:

We desire to get approximately $10,000 in funding support for this budget by encouraging the congregation to give designated funds to purchase plants, trees, light fixtures, and pavers for the People Connection Project.  We already have some significant partnering – make sure you get a chance to participate as well:  Sign up on the board in the Narthex (Lobby). 

 

REMEMBER:  The Welcome Zone is the Congregation’s desire to be good stewards of the physical resources God has given us as well as the articulation of Bethel’s Mission to reach more people with the Gospel.  Your Welcome Zone Team has worked diligently to manage these projects over the past 6 months and is committed to seeing the work through to the end.  PEACE AND WELCOME!
