Blessed is the one you choose to bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple! Psalm 65:4

How amazing is it, that the Lord, the creator of all things wants us to be in His presence! We are embarking upon a great adventure as we seek the Lord in the development and construction of our new home on Hwy 11. The project is underway and things are going great. I know that if any of you have driven by the land, you have no doubt ask the question, "When will we start moving dirt on the land?" The answer is soon. There are a lot of details that have to be taken care of prior to the City of Pelham allowing us to begin the dirt movement phase of our project. Those details include; Having a ground run topographical map completed (done), geotechnical dirt work analysis completed (in progress), architectural renderings of the building and parking lots drawn (Initial phase done), and last and certainly not least the civil engineering drawings completed (in progress). The civil engineering could not get under way until the topo and geotechnical work were completed. I expect that we will have all initial phases of the project completed by June 1st. I would like to introduce our people to the companies and representatives that will be working on this project with us.

Turner Batson Architects- Jamie Collins

In-Site Engineering- James Cassidy

BECC (geotech)- Marty Burford

Arrington Engineering and Land Surveyors- Jeff Arrington

A special thanks to Ernie Brown with Realty Link for helping in the procurement of the land.

Next up in the coming weeks.....Tree removal where necessary. We will be taking out the trees where we will be bringing in dirt to level the land. We will be leaving as many trees on the property as possible. The teams desire is to have as natural a design as possible.

Speaking of team, let me introduce everyone to our Vision Team.
Jeremy Gore, Jeff Glass, Jeff Jiles, Blake Bassham, and Landon Robertson. Jeremy, Jeff, and myself are handling the land project and the others will be primarily dealing with the building and it's components.

I hope that this brings everyone up to speed. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at: timlawson04@yahoo.com

Pray for wisdom for our team.

In Christ,

Tim Lawson
