BP Building Renovation Update! July 2024

The renovations are coming along in the BP Building. We have completed the timeliest renovation, replacing the ceiling tiles and the difference is amazing! This took almost four weeks of mornings and evenings and one dumpster dump. Coming up, the outside will be pressure-washed, rotten wood replaced, and then painted. The inside is scheduled to be painted. Once the painting is completed, flooring in the big room, foyers, and bathrooms will be replaced. Bathroom vanities will also geta facelift.

We thank everyone for their support and patience. We are doing our best to work within the budget from the monies we have so generously received. Please continue to pray for this process. We look forward to its successful completion!
