\n<\/b>Since the water leakage incident 2 weeks ago, we have mobilized our resources to address the issue. We have already met with the general contractor, several roofing companies, structural engineers, remedy companies, insurance broker and the adjuster. The location where the water leaked is not related to the RTUs installation.
\n<\/span>The expected completion date for the repair work of the leakage location, ceiling, and the interior furniture of the Sanctuary will be the end of July. This timeline is to ensure that we can resume using the Sanctuary as quickly as possible. Roofing work will continue in parallel.
\n<\/span>We would like to thank everyone for stepping up to support the changes over the past two weeks. Please continue to pray for the process.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”center” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][vc_column_text el_class=”insidetext”]Facilities and Venue Booking – <\/b>We are switching to use the Church Center App for church-related facility booking requests.
