Friends, we wanted to offer you an on-line update to the progress happening at our retreat, Potter's Inn at Aspen Ridge located in Divide, CO.
- $225,000 has been raised and spent in the renovation of the 5,000 square foot big, red barn.
- The Barn--and future "Inn" has the following:
- Finished and in-floor radiant heat installed, and ready to be connected to the furnance when funds allow this...making "heat..."
- Most of the plumbing is "in" but there is still the need for more plumbing to be done so all the bathrooms are working and the heat is functioning properly.
- Electrical work is "roughed " in but needs the finishing work to allow lights and the furnance to operate.
- The required "firewall" separating the retreat area from the living area is now installed and nearly complete.
2. Our financial need at the moment is for $150,000 in further gifts to complete the phase 1 and 2 and allow the retreat to be up and running and ready for guests. Please pray with us about this need.
Our cozy log cabins are operational and being used by guests for retreats. We offer special rates for individuals working full time in a Chrisitian ministry. Please contact the retreat office for more information: Paula at 719-687-3158.
Here are some images of the barn's progress...
We also are building an Ebenezer Fireplace at the future "inn" as you can see from the plans. This stacked stone fireplace will be constructed one stone at a time by our Contractor. We are asking our friends and donors to please consider helping us by donating a stone to be place in the fireplace for a gift of $100. We'll send a beautiful card with both your name on it and the name of the person in your life you want to honor. This lasting legacy fireplace will be a place where 250 stacked stones are placed and raised like a Biblical Ebenezer-- or rock monument that the Scriptures speak of so often in the Old Testament. The Ebenezer's were built to signify that "thus far the Lord is with us"--which is the literal and Biblical meaning of the word "Ebenezer."
