On Friday, we received the bids from 3 builders for the new St. Matthew church building for Conway. Not exactly the news we wanted to hear. The highest bid was $1.6 million, the lowest was $850,ooo. Our architect, a very seasoned church builder in the Conway area, was even blown away. The plan is to negotiate with the lowest bidder and see where we can shave off and eliminate, if possible. These are certainly not prices that this congregation can afford, so spirits were a bit down this morning after the announcement. We have worked so hard for this and will continue to keep the goal in our sights. Please keep our church in your prayers as we again tackle another obstacle as we try to build God's house.
On another note, looks like Gracie and Jack will not be allowed to get dirt bikes after all, until they are 13, according to the new federal law. Pete is about to have a coronary over this one. Click the link to read the absurdity: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-02-16-motorcycleban_N.htm
Love to all...D
