As promised, I have the following improvements and maintenance work to report. I am always very grateful for the generosity of so many in making it possible for us to do this work. I have been asked to get a suggestion box and place it on the table in the Atrium. This will be done as soon as possible. However, I am always open to useful suggestions. Please feel free to contact me at the Church Office.

• The restrooms by the parlor have been updated with new tile floors. The old flooring had to be replaced because of water damage.
• The tree that fell on the clothes closet has been removed and work is now beginning on the repairs to the clothes closet.
• The old Crisis Ministry Building is in the last stages of remodeling for the expansion of our Child Development Center and their after school program.
• The replacement of the roof at the gym is now well under way. The planning and design will be completed soon and the work should actually begin in September.
• You may notice that we have a 40 foot container behind the gym. We are using it for temporary storage as we remodel the new Child Development Center and start cleaning out the old Everlasting Light building.
• The Second Century campaign is well under way. We are having a very generous outpouring of support by your pledges and contributions.
• Due to the theft in our area of copper from outside heat pumps, we have now added the protection cages to all our sanctuary heat pumps.
• Finally, we have repaired and upgraded all emergency exit and fire suppression and alert systems on our campus.
