Facilities Improvement

Thank you to the wonderful Boy Scout Troop 214 for their Eagle Scout projects, some completed and some underway. Here are some pictures of the improvements they have been making at our facility. Note the new fencing and lighting. 

Lukas A. will be doing his Eagle Scout project for LS Preschool, Sat., August 7.  (Restoring benches, planting flowers, repainting the tricycle paths, & making 6 new wooden crosses, all around the preschool playgrounds.)  He could use some funding to purchase materials.  Please see the flyer in the church narthex or contact the church office if you would like to donate. Please send donations by July 9.  He could use some tools if you will lend them.  (Handheld sanders, elec. sanders, shovels, sm. hand saws, EZ up canopies, & portable tables.)  Thanks for your support!

Congratulations to Neil C. on earning his Eagle Scout status on June 3! Many Thanks to Troy L. on completion of his Eagle Scout project – raising funds & replacing all exterior building lighting with LED lights, saving the church approx. $1000 per year!! Looks great!

To complement this project, our own Carl Burns will change the parking lot lighting to LED. (Cost $6500) Troy raised enough money to donate $600 to this project. With funds already raised, we need to raise an additional $900. Wish to contribute? Mark your donation ‘Parking Lot Lighting Project’ & place in the offering plate. (Cash, or checks made payable to ‘Loving Savior’.)

The new Video Walls are here!  Aren’t they great?  Patson and the crew outdid themselves.  Many thanks to them and to everyone who has supported this project!  But we still need more funding. Please make your donations out to “Loving Savior” marked “Video Wall.”  You can place them in the offering plate, mail them into the church, or just contact Pasto Andy.  

Thanks for your patience during the recent renovation of Pastor Andy’s office.  Check it out!  It looks really good!  There’s more to do (always is!), but so far, it’s a BIG improvement!  (Now if we could just get the AC working?!  Well, one step at a time.)

Looking ahead… Our Board of Elders is busy putting together a ‘Call Committee‘ to search for a new Pastor to work with them and Pastor Andy in building our future here at Loving Savior.  Exciting new changes!
