Painting Complete at the125, Phase One
July 30, 2008
Phase One of the125project is rapidly approaching completion! As you can see from the pix below, painting is now complete; electrical, carpet & padding, and plumbing will all be completed next week! Be praying – we may be moving our Nursery & Toddlers into Phase One as early as August 10th.
Ministry Wingman
July 24, 2008
(Pictured: Jonathan Herron, lead pastor; Mark Driscoll, president of Acts 29; Matt Simon, Ministry Wingman; and Dave Sparks, Family Environments).
I’m excited to announce that Matt Simon is joining the Catalyst Team in the strategic role of my Wingman. Matt has been part of the Catalyst community since the Spring of 2007, was baptized as a believer in May of ‘07, and is beginning work toward his Master’s in Theology this Fall.
As Ministry Wingman, Matt will be coming alongside me in an unpaid Deacon staff role. Matt will soon begin filtering through all emails and phone calls that come my way and assisting me with my daily schedule. Communications among different ministry leaders will also be key to Matt’s new role.
Please be praying as we iron out details of this new staff role. – Jonathan

the125project: phase one almost done
July 21, 2008
A quick update on Phase One progress:
Thompson Electric will be working in the125 on July 28/29 to finish up all electric in Phase One – - looks like just the far rear room and rear restroom are left to finish painting by the 28th (looks GREAT!).
This week we’re getting bids on carpeting for the125; once electric is done early next week, we’ll have carpet installed in Phase One (up to the double-doors).
Once that’s finished, we will move kids classrooms into Phase One, thus freeing us up to take on Phase Two. This could happen as early as August 3rd or 10th. Watch the CataBlog for details as they develop.
Our goal to pray for is this: To completely finish Phase Two (gutted, cleaned up, painted, electric, carpet) by August 24th. That will give us time to move in new furniture, train our new Catalyst KIDS volunteers, and be ready to rock ‘n roll the first Sunday in September (coincides with tons of family outreach stuff we’re taking on).
Please be praying this week as we are in talks with potential financial donors about one-time gift opportunities…
Congrats, Seals!
