Facility: Some Scoops

We're working on a couple of facility projects that should be evident in the next couple of months. An inside scoop on our facility activities per se.

In the next few weeks the Alpha Lobby restrooms will be renovated/redecorated. The bathrooms have served us fine over the years, but they smack of practicality. I love practicality myself, but I recognize it tends to neglect giving people a warm welcoming feeling. Similar to the decorations we've used in the Chapel and Elementary restrooms, our goal is to make the Alpha Lobby restrooms warm and nicely decorated.

For many years, the lower end of our parking lot served merely as an overflow, except for our large concerts. The lower lot was never fully paved, probably as a cost-deferment measure when the major addition was completed in 1990. They paved the base, but never laid down the top layer. With the attendance bump of recent years the full parking lot is now used each Sunday. Seeing this growth, we planned to finish off the lower lot if we were financially stable this year. God has really blessed us this year, so we are moving ahead with the plan and sometime this summer the lower lot should be completely repaved.
