Building Addition
On
Sunday, October 23rd we announced our recommendation to pursue a
building addition on MacKenzie Road that would accommodate our Sunday morning
worship needs. This path would:
- Plant us on the
property
- Be doable by us
- Keep the larger vision
alive
The
reaction to this recommendation was overwhelmingly positive. Not only did we
receive verbal affirmation, but we also received several offers to help in the
process.
This
has already resulted in the formation of a new committee to guide us through
the building addition process. The committee will be chaired by Bill Long and
will include Dick Bucher, Rachel Jandecka, Diego Perez-Stable and Mary Tharp.
We know
what lies ahead for this group, therefore, we gratefully thank the members of
this committee for your willing spirit and your upcoming labor. But in addition to our gratitude, we commit
to pray for you and the process.
Remember to Vote
Tuesday,
November 8th, is Election Day. It is an off-year election that does
not receive as much attention as others. However, we encourage all registered
voters to exercise their liberty and their responsibility by casting your
ballot on November 8th.
Mid-Week Bible Study & Prayer
Last
month, we began our Wednesday evening gathering dedicated to Bible study and
prayer. We committed to study the 3 “R”s of the Bible-Revelation, Ruth and
Romans. But we also committed to continue joining our faith together in
intercessory prayer.
As
of this writing, we have just covered a little more than the first chapter of
Revelation. You are welcome to jump in at any time (and coming one time does
not commit you to every week). Our desire is to feed the flock and to have as
many as possible “taste and see that the Lord is good.”
But
at the same time we are feeding from God’s Word, we do not want to neglect our
responsibility to stand in the gap and pray for the individual needs of
individual people. We will continue to devote ourselves to intercessory prayer
every week.
We
encourage you to give the mid-week service a try and guarantee you will be
uplifted and encouraged by the Spirit of God, the Word of God and the people of
God.
Thanksgiving Breakfast
Our
annual Thanksgiving Breakfast is scheduled for Sunday, November 20th.
Breakfast will be at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 10:30 a.m.
This
is an excellent time to invite and bring family and friends as we
eat together and thank God for His provision over the past year.
