Building Update

Colorado ACTS is still actively pursuing the Fruitdale School Building (on 44th just west of Kipling in Wheatridge). We have been working with an architect and a contractor and several Wheatridge officials to try and resolve numerous issues (zoning, safety, fire, heating, plumbing…the list goes on and on). We are hoping to have a financial proposal ready for the Bank by the beginning of June and an answer from the Bank. Depending on the outcome of all those meetings ACTS will begin renovation on the building in the late Summer and will move in As Soon As Possible. It is still more than possible that the Lord will close one of the many doors and make the building an impossibility. Despite the uncertainty of everything, Cindy, Marianne and Leah are not worried because we Know that God’s hand is in everything. If it becomes clear that God wants something different for ACTS and its teachers and students, then we are peaceful about that as well. We appreciate your prayers and work and support and will let you know as soon as we know.

Some of these graduates have been taking classes with ACTS since they were in first grade. It is sad to think of doing shows without them. But it is exciting to see them grow into young adults and begin the next part of their journey. We entrust them into God’s hands with a glad heart and the knowledge that they have touched our lives deeply.

Let Petitions and Praises shape your worries into Prayers, letting god know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Phil. 4:70-8
