At last, the time has come for the move into our new worship space! Praise be to God!!
Our first worship service will be Sunday, July 8th at 10:00am. I will be returning from General Conference on the 7th. and hope to see all of you there. Also, as a way of saying thanks to Bonanza Bingo I would like a group of us to go play bingo that afternoon. I will check on the exact time and get back to you with the details. This is not an official church event, but rather something I would like to do and hope others will join me.
Our "Dedication Celebration" will be Sunday, August 19th at 2:00pm. Rev. Elder Lillie Brock will be our guest for that weekend and I know we are going to have a blessed time.
She will be offering a workshop for our congregation on Saturday and we will share in a pot-luck. I will get back to you with more details but be sure to save the dates as you will not want to miss this opportunity to rejoice and celebrate.
It has been almost three years since hurricane Ivan blew through our city and turned our church world upside down. A lot of things both good and bad have happened to our faith community since then. The miracle is that we have survived! And now God's vision is coming to pass for us. Soon we will be in a larger space that is accessible to all and worthy to be called a house of prayer for all people.
3130 W Fairfield is a place that we can be proud of, a place where we can gather and celebrate God's love for all people, a place where many will come to and find God ready to receive them with open arms. Rejoice church! Our time has come and our church is about to experience incredible growth. Let us be ready to show them Jesus living is us when they arrive.
Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching for what lies ahead, let us press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called us in Christ Jesus. Philippains 3:13,14
I hope to see you all in church this Sunday....at the bingo hall. I will be leaving for AZ on Monday (6/25) and the following Sunday (7/1), the last time in the bingo hall, a good freind and colleauge, Rev. Gerald Munday, will be preaching in my absence. You don't want to miss his message...and saying good-bye to Bonanza Bongo!
