The church is very near completion!

The final 'walk-through' of the building has happened with Genesis Construction (our construction builder) and the final touches are being completed and repaired as needed.

We are in the midst of our summer slow down where we all take much needed 'breaks' of refreshment and fun - but - as we return to a full schedule of activities and 'being church', we will all begin to realize the flexibility and capabilities that our new building offers for our ministry in the northern hills of Calgary.

There are so many people to continually give thanks to that it is difficult to mention them all at this point. However, let me hold up once again the names of our project managers: Bob Raina and Dave Williams; Scot Middleton who has been working with lease partners, AV development, staffing development for the new church, and so much more; Michelle Middleton who has been responsible for the financial operations with regards to the new building; Sandy Crawford who struggles and encourages us all with regards to ongoing Stewardship concerns; and our Treasurer, Al Dick, who quietly goes about his business keeping the 'books' of our church operating budget while under the pressures of a changing church.

We can all be very proud of the journey we have made and will be continuing on over the next few years as we continue to discover and be blessed by the versatility that our new worship, work and play space offers.

Enjoy your new home - it belongs to you! Know God's blessing as we continue in our adventure in faith - following the call of the Spirit in our lives.
