Forward Project Update: December 1 - "Mark Your Calendars"

This weekend, we flip to the final month of our 2023 calendars. December is always a busy month in our homes and at our church, and this year it’s especially true for the Forward Project. 

Final construction bids from our general contractor and several sub-contractors are set to be received on December 6. Our building committee and Coordinating Council will review those bids through the end of the week and present the results to the congregation in an open forum on December 10. This forum will allow anyone who attends to ask questions regarding the final scope, design, and pricing of the project, as well as opportunities to consider all the companies who will be doing the work. We’ll begin our Open Forum at Noon on Sunday, December 10, to provide ample discussion time for questions and concerns. 

At the same time, the forum will be a great place to share the scope of work that we’re planning to accomplish ahead of construction starts. If you are interested in lending a hand (or a hammer) to the project, you are encouraged to attend the forum. Further “volunteer days” will be scheduled in January and February of 2024!

We are confident that the scope and budget of the project is on track and on time. With the bids received and reviewed at our forum, we’ll be ready to sign contracts before the New Year begins and prepare for the start of construction in the first week of April 2024.
