What an exciting moment when, on the last day of 2009, the final pledge was received to complete the funding for the first three phases of the Cedar Lodge renovation. This date was significant in that it meant we had met the last requirement to claim a grant from a foundation for $490,000 for this project.

This project includes moving the public restrooms to the main floor of Cedar Lodge, and expanding the kitchen and Cedar Lodge Chapel.

The first project slated for completion is the restrooms. We hope to begin construction this fall. Phases II and III are scheduled to begin in May of 2011. This all hinges on receiving our Conditional Use Permit from the county, followed by the building permits for each phase of the renovation projects after that.

We are currently working on the detailed plans for these projects, and lining up the help that will be needed to get these projects completed. Please pray that the Lord will bring everything together to allow us to proceed.
