The sketch in the photo section gives an idea of what the church might look like as a one-story building. The congregation has decided to proceed with that type of design. Right now we are experiencing a little bit of a lull while we wait for the state to approve our septic facilities. After the state approves this, I believe there must be approval of the facilities by county authorities which we do not anticipate will take much time. We have a contract that we are perusing for the building and then there will be more accurate plans made by an architect. Building will then begin. We already have pews donated by a church in Kentucky. Our building fund has exceeded $30,000.    We were very satisfied with the settlement from our insurance company. So we will be well on our way as soon as we get an answer from the state.
