Steady progress is happening. I visited the site on Sunday evening this weekend. The West wall of the building is starting to grow, while at least 75% of the East wall block work appears to be finished with both the inner and outer blocks being in place.
The North wall is at its full height for the inner layer of blocks, exterior are not all in place yet. The South is going more slowly by design, as there are mechanical and practical reasons to finish those walls a little later in the project.
It is now very easy to see the layout of the rooms, the size of the hallway, and so forth. Warm dry days like today go a long ways at this point in the project.
I have not talked about money for a while. All indications are that we are running on budget at this point, and we praise the Lord for that. The diligent work of the construction team also needs to be recognized.
We do still have some cash needs for the building. We have pledges outstanding which we need to collect. In addition, gifts now will help us to furnish the new building a little more completely than we could right now. Those final touches will make the new space more comfortable, and will assist with marketing efforts as well.
We are preparing a letter to be mailed to those who have made pledges. That should go out very soon. Please include that mailing in your prayers for OCA. We do need to continue to collect money pledged toward this project.
