LET US ARISE AND BUILD!

The theme of new life coming at Easter took on a new meaning for our congregation, as we had a glorious Easter Sunday ground-breaking ceremony this past Sunday. The service was short and sweet: a chorus or two of Christ Arose, a prayer, a meditation from the book of Nehemiah, and then with a shout of “let us arise and build!” the congregation began enthusiastically hacking at the ground with their shovels. We will have pictures posted on the website soon, as well as an announcement in the newspaper.

On Monday, we closed on the construction loan, and we are now primed to move forward to begin construction. Our contractor, Chris Northam, says it will be approximately 2 weeks before excavation begins on the property. The first step is to cut in a road, put down some road base, grade the construction area and put down the pad for the slab, and then we will be our way. We are praising God for this big step, but also continue to pray every day for Chris and his crew as they begin the hard work needed to build the church home we have prayed about for so long.

Blessings,

Jackie

Hospitality Sweet

Hospitality matters because every time we worship together, we are drawn not only into our particular community, but also into the community of angels and saints who are always praising God.  Even better, we are being reminded that we are included in the circle of fellowship between the Father, Son and Spirit.  The Son is the true worship leader who helps us express our thanks to the Father, the phenomenally hospitable God, who invites us to make ourselves at home with him.

Church is  powerful when it embodies this inclusion […].When church is like that, it becomes the home away from home where we offer each other a place to reunite, be fed, commune, wash, rest and receive what we need for the road.
