October 17 is the date for our next Focus Group. For those who may have missed attending one this past summer we invite you along to hear more about the proposed project. We hope to have another rendition of the floor plan to show you and a report on the application for a site plan agreement amendment. Even if you came to a Focus Group in the summer you are welcome to attend this one as well.
Special thanks to the Project Team which meets twice a month to work on the details. Thanks Jim Best, Esther Araujo, Dennis Gunter, Peter Hogenbirk, Liz Leduke and Pastor Brian.
See you on the 17th - that's a Wednesday night at 7 PM at the Church.

September Update: 2 Announcements
September 16 will be the launch of a communication piece as we continue to consider the new expansion.
And a name for the project has been selected. Project Caleb. Stay tuned for a copy of the newsletter that will be offered monthly or more as needed to communicate further details as we go. The newsletter is called The Caleb Report.
Just a reminder too that you can sign up for this blog so that whenever there is an update you will be notified that a new post has been made. The sign up process is simple but you do need to respond to the request that you will be sent so that the email notifications will get through to you.
We hope this all helps and feel free at any time to send us a note or give us a call if you have questions or comments about what you see or read or hear!
Let's be praying together for a clear sense of God's leadership by the Holy Spirit.

Project Team Introduced
The work of the Project Team has begun. The members at the invitation of the Church Board are:
Jim Best (Chair)
Peter Hogenbirk (Board Member)
Liz Leduke
Esther Araujo
Dennis Gunter
Pastor Brian
These good folk will serve the congregation by doing behind the scenes work which is so necessary in preparing for final decisions regarding the building project. Design, budget and administrative items are all a part of the mandate - and should we go forward - this team would help follow the construction effort carefully on our behalf.
To a large extent we now need some professional assistance to prepare and gain the approval of the Town of Clarington. The process to start with is called the Site Plan Agreement. An architect is going to meet with us shortly to help begin this Site Pite Agreement process. Lots of questions and ideas to digest in these early days.
More reports to follow - til then we appreciate your prayer support and continued feedback.

Summer Focus Groups Complete
Hello again as we reach the end of August.
This past summer we have held 10 Focus Group meetings - times to get together and provide some input to the on going discussion regarding a new multi-purpose room.
Thanks so much for participating. Over 80 people attended the meetings and we have a great list of thoughts and ideas as a result. Now we are in the process of sorting through the information.
Look for further updates along the way. If you missed the meetings this summer feel free to be in touch - either send us a note or give us a call.
