One Step Closer: November Fearless Update
And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. 8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Hebrews 11:6&8
Occupancy has been approved!
We have been inspected by the City of Westerville and approved for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. This means we can move into the WCCarehouse and office suite but have a few more projects to complete before we have final occupancy. One of those projects, and a significant one, is a new fire alarm system for the entire building scheduled to be installed in December. Other projects are all minor in comparison!
WCCarehouse
Our WCCares team will begin moving into the newly remodeled space on Saturday, November 11:
Five custom-made, counter-height, ash tables – you may have seen them recently in the lobby
12 counter-height chairs/stools
Five heavy-duty commercial shelving units to hold weekly supplies of food for Friday Fare
Bank of “basket” shelving to sort clothing for the Wardrobe
Eight heavy-duty clothing racks for sorting and holding clothing for the Wardrobe
Lots of clothing and lots of food!!
