[AT] Talking about shops/sheds + (OT) Building Code Changes

[David Bruce]

At some point the conference here will be involved as well but for now 
we are gathering the data we need to understand our needs then to feed 
to the conference.

Our current pastor has helped in developing the vision.  She has been 
with us 2 years so maybe 3 more max.  We are a small rural church that 
might be in the middle of suburbia in 20 or so years so one factor we 
are considering is our growth as the surrounding area grows in population.
