CHURCH APPROVES MASTER PLAN
At the Church Conference on May 15, the church approved the Master Plan and Conceptual Budget as recommended by the Ad Hoc Team - Sanctuary and Adjacent Space. The Master Plan is to renovate the Sanctuary, replace the West Building with a new structure, and add a Commons area east of the Sanctuary. This will give a flexible space for worship for generations to come and address many needs such as providing full handicapped accessibility, updating sound and lights, and bringing all systems up to current codes, while maintaining the character of Dawson. The conceptual budget is $24,350,000, to be paid through a combination of savings in the building fund, a campaign to ask members to give over and above their tithes and offerings over the next five years, and a loan. For more information on the Master Plan and the finances, please visit dawsonchurch.org/MasterPlan.
