PARKING LOT RENEWAL REQUEST
Our parking lot is struggling with potholes, cracks, and drainage issues that risk flooding our building. There is a recognition that we need to move beyond the “band aid” solution of patching and sealing. A “Better” option includes partial asphalt replacement, some professional repairs, sealcoating, and striping of the parking lot (estimated cost $120 thousand). The “Best” option includes full asphalt replacement, sealcoating, and striping of the parking lot (estimated cost $240 thousand). Both the “Better” and the “Best” options give us a parking lot that looks like new, meets current requirements for handicapped parking, removes tripping hazards, and provide an engineered solution for drainage issues. The advantage of the more expensive option (complete asphalt replacement) is that it prevents us from having to return for another parking lot "ask" in just a few years, allowing us to focus our future stewardship on other vital deferred maintenance items.
GEECC family, would you please pray and please consider giving a gift or pledge to help fill our funding gap? We have until May 30, 2026, to raise the funds. Any gifts or pledges given toward this project since the Congregational Meeting on Sunday will be counted toward our total.
Click here to give and use the dropdown menu to select “Give to Capital Projects”. If giving by check or cash please specify “Parking Lot” or “Capital Project” in the memo line or on the envelope.
Recording Pledges: If you would like to make a pledge by the May 30 deadline, please email our Financial Secretary (giving@gecovenant.org) directly so your commitment can be officially recorded toward our progress.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and your continued commitment to the stewardship of our church home. Together, we are building a firm foundation for ministry yet to come.
