This is my first chance to examine the plans. This first phase will spark interest in how we can best proceed with next steps to bring our campus and physical plant up to expectations held by most church "shoppers." The concept plan seems quite useful, Of course lots of details have yet to be decided, which will require consultations with engineers and architect(s). (Perhaps the architectural school at Judson University could be tapped for free expertise and fresh thinking on these points.) I feel that we should dedicate some time to digest and enjoy the benefits of this first phase. In the interim, we can keep open a full range of options as we prayerfully engage in long-term strategic planning. For instance, it may be years before we can determine how best to maximize the use of our Nesler Road acreage - and everything changes with time. I wish that Greg's review last Sunday of the history of First Baptist had been taped, as it was brilliantly done, and inspirational.
