VERIZON CELL TOWER IN OUR CHURCH STEEPLE. The cell tower in our church steeple is now in operation. A Life Safety test was conducted on November 4, 2008, and the project is now virtually complete. Testing the automatic load transfer to the emergency generator is scheduled for November 12, 2008. Once that is accomplished and witnessed by the City Building and Fire Inspectors, the final inspections will be completed. Verizon is paying us $2,000 per month for using our facility. In spite of this extra help since April, Local Budget is in the RED by $30,631.00 as of the end of October.

GUTTER REPLACEMENT. Some folks have noticed the gutter down on the East side of the church sanctuary. That happened on September 14 as a result of the high winds that day. A contract has been signed for replacement of that gutter and re-sloping another gutter at a cost of $866.00. There were lots of gutters damaged, so the contractor has a considerable backlog, but it will happen. We are blessed that the overall damage from the storm was no worse than it is. If you can share an extra blessing with the Local Budget, you can share in the pride of maintaining your church.
