Grand Opening

Well, here we are in October ... where did that last month go? The office move was great but then so many other things took place that I had to leave you for a time. Sorry, especially to those who are following this blog from a distance. I know you don't get to see it first hand so I will try to keep up the pictures and the info.

Our Grand Opening this past weekend was so great! Everyone was scrambling to get things done before Sunday but it all turned out great even though we had to leave a few things unfinished. The service was celebrative and upbeat with a special dedication time and a message reminding us that this is God's building and we need hold it with an open hand to His purposes. People will always be more important than buildings.

Church Chairman George called up Dave, who donated the land for the first church to be built, over 30 years ago. The children brought their piggy banks that they made to collect their Building for Eternity gifts. This one took a LONG time to empty! Holly was happy to not have to carry it any further!

We had a full house with 211 people in church. A delightful lunch was served right after church giving people time to look around and explore the new facility.

In the afternoon, there was a public Open House for all who were curious to see the new building and happy to celebrate with us.

We are so thankful for all the God has done and for what He is still doing. Finishing the project will take just a little more time and money. The first we have, the second, God will provide. Thank you for your interest and prayers.
