Building Update 09/17/2009
 
This post has been delayed because we have been waiting on a few final answers to come in that I wanted everyone to be made aware of.  Over the last three weeks we have been receiving pledges from our church family.  The responses have slowly trickled in and while we have two more Sunday's to hear back from our people, we are about 60% towards our goal.  If you haven't sent in your pledge card please do so over the next two weeks.  On Sunday, October 4th, we will have our first offering Sunday.  The following Monday, we will make several decisions that will effect our final plans for the building.  So it is imperative that our support network communicate to us the sacrifice they are willing to make in the next two weeks.  We are taking every precaution to be good stewards of the resources that God is bringing to us.

Over the last three weeks we have been working with the architect to finalize the drawings for the building.  We are very excited about the final layout of the building. The worship center will seat around 300 adult worshipers and the children's space, made into a jungle theme, will have a kid's worship center and four rooms to give our infants, toddlers, & preschoolers a safe and exciting environment to grow in.  Now we wait to get all the plans approved and gain permits so that construction can begin.  This is a very exciting time.  While these plans have been going through the finalization process we have witnessed our church both grow and gain momentum.  The last four Sundays we have seen an average of about 130 worshipers at our Sunday gatherings and nearly 90% of those adult worshipers have gotten involved in a small group.  God is blessing us greatly and we must remain faithful to his calling.  The road is going to be exciting, with its share of bumpy terrian, but together we will see Him work mightily right before our eyes.

Keep praying.  Keep sacrificing and keep serving with all your heart.
