HVAC update

A week has now passed since the air conditioners were looted for copper. We thought maybe an update would be appreciated.

Q- Have the police caught anyone?
A- No; and they are not likely to. We are told this is a very common and wide-spread crime, but our police are already stretched thin and not able to give a lot of manpower to a non-violent crime when people are being murdered in our community almost every day. Pray for both situations.

Q- Are the repairs done?
A- About 85% as of today, and almost certainly will be 100% by this weekend.

Q- What has this all cost?
A- The damages have totaled just over $52,000 so far. Almost all of this has been paid by insurance. However, some additional costs will not be covered by insurance, and will eventually come to $4,000 or more.

Q- What are we doing to prevent this from happening again?
A- We are having alarms installed on all the equipment- this accounts for much of the additional cost. We are also increasing the amount of security lighting, adding some locks and taking some other steps we would rather not discuss publicly to discourage a repeat.

Q- What can I do to help?
A- Prayerfully consider your financial support to the church. With our already under-funded budget, this makes things even more difficult.
