The fence is down!!

Finally the fences are down!! And... the gate is up!! It may not look like much is going on but it sure was a big and happy day for us.  This week we were also able to install more of the alarm system and our electrician was able to come to do some more of the electric installations. Soon, I will post some pictures of the lights we installed in the main auditorium.










This past Saturday we had a kid's activity in the building.  We had such a great time with the kids!  We had 16 children present and were able to give a clear Gospel message.  












    

We have all the windows!!!

At times we thought we would never be able to say that but... now we can!! Praise the Lord! Last week they finally delivered and installed the last of the glass. They even replaced one panel that they had cracked when they were installing them on the first day.  The gas installations were also finished.  Mike also has been working on the wall and the gate that opens to the patio. Now we are hoping and praying that next week we will be able to get the electric installed that we need to be able to use the building for meetings. This is the next big step. We need to finish out a little more at least one bathroom and then we are good to go. June is starting to look pretty good. And that's pretty good timing on the Lord's part. In June our church celebrates its 15th anniversary!

Meanwhile, the church marches on. We've had a drop in attendance of our children's ministry.  But we have seen an increase in our regular services and our teens have maintained.  We continue to have regular meetings on Sundays, activities for the teens and children, and a new ladies Bible study is starting up. Everyone is very anxious to inaugurate the building. Almost every Sunday someone will comment that they had a friend promise to come when we inaugurate.

Mike and I also had opportunities to witness this week and are praying that God will touch their hearts to make decisions.  Here are some pictures!! Be back soon.  Sandy

Still waiting...

No new pictures this time because we are still waiting. Waiting for the rest of the glass for the windows. Just to give you an idea they told us that the glass would arrive yesterday or today. Did it get here?  Uhh, no. Now they are saying next week sometime. We are not holding our breath.


So, no "new" news or pictures. We can't plan for the innauguration date until we have some important details finished on the building all of which depend on other services to do their jobs. 


I guess this is a lesson on patience and trusting in the Lord's timing. How many vote that those are some of the toughest lessons to learn?!
