Her it is October all ready and the site still looks the same. That doesn't mean there are not things happening. We have been working through the summer months on several plan issues that needed more attention than anticipated.
The major one is the new state of California Landscape Irrigation Ordinance that went into affect January of this year. It requires that water usage for the entire site be designed in accordance to this ordinance and it limits the amount of water we can use. This requires that we develop a full landscape plan for the entire site, that entails actually selecting all the plants, trees, bushes, turf etc we will use to make our campus beautiful. Once selected we have to determine each plants watering requirement, add it all up and make sure we do not go over the water allotment on the site.
The other part to this water issue is the existing ag well that is on the site and determining if we can get enough water to meet our landscape needs. Some of you may have driven by the site last week and notice the pump company testing the well. We now have good information about the well that we can add to the watering plan to help move things forward. Thank you all for your prayers and patience.

Mother's Day in the Land
Our Mother's day and ground breaking was a big success with several city dignitaries attending, past charter members of the church and special guest Pastor Westbrook who actually started GCC on Lovers Lane almost 30 years ago. Mayor Bob Link expressed on behalf of the city what a great occasion this was and how it will be a great addition to this area of the city. Please look at the photos of the celebration, they are better than what words can express here.
Mother's Day in the Land Preparations
THIS post is to update from previous postings:
Mother's Day and ground breaking planning is underway and is coming right along. The NCCT committee are meeting jointly with the pastoral staff to coordinate all aspects of the event. Brett Wells will begin the dirt work the Monday before the event, the Deacon Board decided to purchase new indoor/outdoor carpet for under the tent, the new carpet will be used to replace some of the old carpet used for beach camps. NCCT committee members have contacted the city to invite the mayor and city council.

Annual Business Meeting - New site
This post is to get the blog site caught up since my last post.
Annual Business Meeting held on January31, 2010
At our annual business meeting there was some exciting news about our new campus project. Pastor Jon showed drawings of the proposed new GCC property and explained to the congregation that it is time to "Enter the Land". We will have ground breaking for the new campus to be held at the new site on Mothers Day, Sunday May 9, 2010 under the tent. A number of questions were asked and answered by Pastor Jon and Jim Wood. Pastor Jon also discussed the phases of the project, that we will start on phase 1A, the administration building as required by the city council, at a cost of about 1.6 million dollars and that we have have most of that money all ready in the bank so we will not need to do any capitol fund raising at this time.
