10 September Construction Update

This month, demolition has finished and structural steel upgrades and foundation work has begun. The second floor of the offices were completely demolished to prepare for new walls. The walls in the youth center have been taken down, leaving a large room for future youth ministry. Old electrical service and plumbing work has been removed and new conduits and sewer pipes are being installed for the bathrooms. The elevator pit has been dug, as well as most trenches for the interior walls. Ascendent Demolition, Adept Plumbing, and Kirby Electric are doing an excellent job to bring our new worship center together. More pictures can be seen at 10-1-2008 update.

Wall of Faith Signatures

On August 2 and 31st, many of the members and friends of NBCF signed the south wall of the Worship and Family Life Center as a sign of their commitment to supporting the ministry of New Beginnings.

Turner Construction to Continue Renovations Sept 3 Last month, Donovan Brothers Construction encountered scheduling conflicts with other projects and had to pull out of our building project. It was a challenge to us, as we were ready to begin demolition before the Walk of Faith. But, the construction committee sprang into action and contacted two different General contractors with extensive commercial renovation experience. After a week of interviews, we chose Turner Construction, Special Projects Division, to be the general contractor for our new center of ministry. Turner Northwest is the largest general contractor in Washington, but has a focus on integrity, teamwork and a committment to their clients. Their committment to working with the community, national buying power, and extensive experience made them the best choice to bring our Worship and Family Life Center to completion as quickly as possible. We were able to continue with most of the larger subcontractors, and have been ferverently working to put everything in order for construction to get underway. Demolition will continue just after Labor Day. Construction updates will be given each 2nd Sunday in service, but you can always check on the progress at our construction website, nbcf-wflc.blogspot.com

Sign the Wall of Faith After the Walk of Faith, many of you signed your name on the building as an expression of the committment you have to the work of NBCF. For those who were not able to attend before, we would like to offer one more opportunity for those who would like to sign their name. August 31, after the 11:00 service, the building will be open for you to sign your name. Bus transportation from Lindbergh will be available.

The Walk-Of-Faith - August 2, 2008

On Saturday, August 2, 2008 members of the New Beginnings Christian Fellowship will participate in The NBCF Walk-Of-Faith. The Walk-Of-Faith is an eight-mile walk that recalls the marvelous journey God has led us on to our new Worship and Family Life Center.

The eight mile walk will begin at Renton High School in Downtown, Renton, (where we held our first worship service on August 5, 2005). From Renton High School we will walk to Lindbergh High School in the Fairwood neighborhood (NBCF relocated to Lindbergh in July, 2006). The final leg of the Walk-Of-Faith will be from Lindbergh to our new Family Life and Worship Center located in the Panter Lake area at the Renton and Kent border.

Please consider sponsoring one of our members in the Walk-Of-Faith. Participants of all ages will seek pledges for the Worship and Family Life Center Building Fund. All sponsors will be invited to help us celebrate at the WFLC site at the end of the walk
