▼金曜日の聖書クラスは今学期終了しました。来学期は10/8(金)ゼファニヤ書、9(土)コロサイ人の手紙を再開です。
▼《重要・保育園建設情報》9/20(日)に、これまでの経緯・園舎建設計画・司祭館と駐車場移転についてを信徒の皆さんに委員会が説明します。園舎工事についての概略は以下です。
■地鎮祭は9/11に行われて新園舎建設と旧園舎取り壊し工事が約1年半行われる。
■この期間、教会駐車場は園児登園口兼建設資材などの重機が入るので閉鎖される。これにともなって駐車場二台分が近隣の駐車場に移動。
■既存教会入り口の門は撤去されて、既存教会入り口を取り壊して教会信徒の入り口を作る。スロープの一部は撤去され、上記防護壁が歩道まで伸びるので出入りはスロープを使うのみとなる。これに伴って簡易門扉を取り付ける予定。
■非常階段を降りた先の非常脱出経路を園児登園通路にする件については、現在工事担当者に教会要望を主張中。
■司祭館の建築計画は一切まだ立っていない。既存園舎取り壊しの頃に新しく契約をからしだねが建設会社と結び直すため。建築予定はこの既存園舎取り壊した後3ヶ月程度を見込む。
■50mの杭を打ち込んで新築園舎を支持する基礎工事が行われるので、教会建物に影響がある可能性が否めない。9/2に教会営繕高木さんが業者と確認写真をとった。
========== 来週以降の予定 ==========

▽Bible class both in Fri and Sat finalized this term. Next term will start from 10/8(F), 9(Sat) again.
▽After the destruction of the rectory in January, the phone in the elevator were finally fixed by Shino Elevator and Fukai electric from 14:00 on 27th.
▽ On Aug 29th(Sat) from 15:30 at Kidergarden, picked up 8 members from parish committee negotiated with Karashidane, Hirooka rector and construction company, and on Aug 30th(Sun) from 15:30 in parish hall, J and E parish committee members and Hirooka rector discussed on construction plan, parking lot, etc. Major points are as follows;
□Blessing prayer for the construction will be said on Sep. 11th, starting to build the new kindergarden building and breaking down the current structure, for a year and half.
□During this period, parish parking lot is closed as the kids come through this path and construction materials and vehicles will be parked this space. Following this, our parking lot is transferred to a new place close to parish. Detail will be explained soon.
□A new temporal gate will be installed for parishioners by breaking down the current gate. After taking out the heavy gate and breaking down a part of slope, we can reach to the sidewalk only through the slope, as the protection wall stretches till the sidewalk, preventing us from getting out from a stair, right of the door.
□We are now negotiating with construction company to share the space where kindergaden kids pass through for the emergency exit extends to the sidewalk to get away.
□No plan for the new rectory is disclosed at all, as the contract with the company will be changed when the current building will be destroyed down. The rectory will be build after this destruction, expecting for 3 month to complete,
□On Sep. 2nd, Takagi san took a series of pictures of our parish building with construction company, as we expect some negative effect will appear on our structure, because 50m long piles will be driven just next to us.
□Parish leaders will explain more on this issue later on.
