Safety First! This is an expression that we use around our homes, our schools and at our jobs. Now we need to make sure we are applying this adage at church.
Construction has begun in earnest on our new building but with the excitement comes some the need to be extra careful around a construction site that is in the vicinity of our church campus. The two can exist together if we remember a few helpful tips:
We must stay behind the orange fencing at all times. Even when work is not taking place. No one except the workers are allowed in the construction area at any time.
- Watch and safeguard your children. Before construction it seemed safe to look away, check your smart phone, or have a conversation while the kids played or "hung out" for a few minutes. This is no longer the case. Be vigilant.
- The eastern half of the Circle Drive is now a Construction Entrance during working hours. Large trucks are making deliveries and doing work. Take extra care when driving in the Circle Drive and avoid using it during daylight hours. The exception is Rainbow Corner drop off and pick up which has a short 30 minute window in the morning and afternoon Monday -Thursday.
- If you want to get the best and safest view of construction, go upstairs in the Learning Center and look out the Gathering Room or Youth Room Windows. However if a group is meeting in one of those rooms, please do not go in and interrupt their meeting.
- Finally, pray for safety; for our workers and for our congregation.
With you on Grace Avenue,
Billy Echols-Richter
