On December 15th, 2024 we had a special called Business Meeting. At the meeting The Stewardship Committee and Sanctuary Remodel Committee gave a recommendation to enter in a contract with Paragon 360 and all portions of the project overseen by the church at a cost of $914,452 not to exceed $1,200,000 for the entire project. Also to continue the capital campaign into 2025. As a church we voted to move forward with recommendation.

Thankfully, as we have started all the work many of the costs have come under budget. The document below you can see a breakdown of what was estimated in the beginning, what we have spent to date, and what we still owe towards the project. We have collected $90,219 towards the capital campaign. With the lower costs to date, we only need $9,375 towards the capital campaign.

We are so excited to announce that we are having an African Worship Service here at Parkade from 12pm-3pm on Sunday Afternoons under Pastor Innocent Mugwaneza. He and his team have been meeting during this time over the last several months as a soft start. They would love for you to join them each Sunday starting at noon. The service is in Swahili and in English. We are thrilled to see where this new found partnership will lead us in the upcoming future.

Join us on March 12th at 6pm down in the Fellowship Hall to hear a presentation from Pastor Chris and Christopher on their Mission Trip to the Philippines.

Sign Ups for Wednesday Night Dinner are Due on Sunday. If you do not sign up on Sunday and come on Wednesday Night we will be asking you to step aside until those who have signed up go through the line. We also ask that you pay the $ 5 for Ind. or $ 20 Family donation at the door, or online.
