Future Building Site
| This is a rolling, five acre site at the southeast corner of 112th and Quincy, two miles east of US-31. The parcel is on on the north side of Holland in Holland Township, one mile east of our current worship site, the Corpus Christi Center. It is currently the site of God's Garden and the church office, a nearly one hundred year old building that we affectionally refer to as the "Farmhouse." |

Office Relocation and Construction Status
At the Congregational Meeting September 28, members voted unanimously
to approve the building schematics, and authorized the expenditure of
funds for the professional fees necessary for bidding and construction
documents and building permits, site grading, construction of the foundation
slab, and roof trusses, before winter stops construction.
Excavation began in earnest Monday, October 6. However, damage to our
waste discharge line took us by surprise, expediting our need to relocate
office space sooner than we had anticipated - unless, of course, none
of us ever need to use the restroom. Nancy, Vicki and I met with Kara
Slater from GDK Construction the following Wednesday, and looked at three
potential offices. We chose a storefront located in the strip mall adjacent
to Arby's, by the Family Fare on South
Washington, near US 31: lots of room for storage, classes and activities;
easy, barrier free access; excellent lighting; plenty of parking; can
move in any time. The downside is that for a few of us this will increase
drive time. I hope you will be able to tolerate the inconvenience - we
have few alternatives, and time is of essence. If we do not have telephone
service before we relocate, be free to call us by cell:
- Pastor Jim at 616.566.6341
- Nancy Morrison at 616.283.7480
We plan a big push to move our office equipment next Saturday, October
18, meeting at the farmhouse at 8:30 am. If you have a strong back please
join us to help (and if you have access to a truck or trailer, all the
better) - Paul Boesenecker will have donut holes and bananas to entice
you!
