Latest News
April 2008:   

All the information gathering and analysis needed to put together a solid plan for the start of construction to change and enlarge Holy Cross church have begun.
        A contract has been signed with Buffalow Architects and a tentative timeline for all the work necessary to move through the Redmond permitting requirements has been submitted.
        As Jerry Whalen, Building Committee leader in charge of everything construction, says, "We have inked Buffalow's contract so we need to get on the horse and move along."
        Whalen has tasked the committee's financial team to research and analyze project financial needs through permitting and construction. Steve VanTil, Ed Robertson and Dave Morrison are looking at estimated receipts and disbursements over the life of Phase One of the project and will report to the Building Committee at its meeting in the church offices at 7 p.m. April 24.
        Taken together, the timeline and the financial report will enable the committee to look for a tentative start date for construction as well as a completion estimate. Once probable timing and financial outlay for construction are identified, others on the committee can begin to look for ways to manage possible changes in service and meeting venues, if needed.
       Building committee members Vivian Johnson and Pam Stanton-Wyman are working with Father Jim to plan and begin meetings with church neighbors to share plans for construction and answer questions.
       Also, committees to work on researching and recommending interior furnishings, colors, fittings, materials and appliances along with the costs of those recommendations, are being formed. To join the effort, simply sign up for the committee of your choice on the sheets posted on the Raise The Roof board in Fellowship Hall. Committee chairmen are Deborah Reffett, Sanctuary; Debbie Hiatt, Kitchen; Jon Shepodd, Landscaping; Kelvie Comer and Harry Phillips, Build Green.
       The Facilities Committee is looking for a chairman. This committee will research and recommend colors, fixtures, lighting and design considerations for handicapped as well as adult and child use of all restrooms. If you are willing to step up, call or Email Janet Brandt, or simply sign up.
       This is your chance to share your thoughts and help shape church interiors and landscaping.       

Background Information:

    Over the past two years, we (the members of Holy Cross) have been engaged in a very thorough process to discern God’s vision for our congregation. Facilities and Needs Assessments, a Feasibility Study, and significant input from parish members have made it clear that we will better serve our mission and ministry at Holy Cross by expanding and enhancing our facilities.

     In fall of 2007 we completed a capital stewardship campaign, entitled Raising the Roof, to pay for our building project. As we announced on Celebration Sunday (16-Dec-2007), we have exceeded our highest goal (the “Celebration Goal”) of $1.5 million by raising pledges of $1.7 million!  This amount will give us some extra flexibility in building and long term planning for our facilities.  Thank you for your participation in this exciting time in the life of Holy Cross!
