EXPANSION – There was great participation in the expansion information meeting on Sunday night – thank you for the interest and enthusiasm! In pursuit of getting the word out to all with clarity, a video presentation with all pertinent information and graphics will be forthcoming, so keep on the lookout for it. With this resource, you will be able to review the building expansion plan at any time to become more familiar with it. We want to be sure that all have had ample time to review it, to freely ask clarifying questions, to consider it prayerfully, and to plan ahead to be present for the church vote. A brief church business meeting has been scheduled on Sunday morning, September 7th following the worship service during which the congregation will be asked to affirm this proposal put forth unanimously by the Building Planning Team and the church Board. This is a big deal, and we should be earnestly in prayer over it. As our Lord is growing His church, we must make sure we do not settle for the status quo, but follow Him and trust Him to provide. Let us make sure we do not limit what God can do by envisioning only what we think we can do.
SPECIAL MEAL – Our coming together at the Lord’s Table is always a very meaningful time. This coming Sunday night (29th) we also have a special meal offered for the fellowship after the Lord’s Table. As referenced in an email that went out this morning, a generous donor has offered for Mike Ortegon to bring his food truck – MO’EMPANADAS — to supply food for our Fellowship Meal! Each complimentary plate will include beef empanadas and fried plantains. If this is what you would like to eat for the Sunday night fellowship meal, please SIGN UP by Friday so Mike can have enough prepared. Otherwise, you can still bring your own picnic dinner as we sit on the grassy grounds, enjoy each other’s company, and watch the kids play. Don’t forget your lawn chairs and/or picnic blankets! This will be our final Sunday evening together corporately until August 31st, at which time we will come together once again at the Lord’s Table. As we look ahead to the summer, please prayerfully consider open doors to redemptive opportunities through hospitality.
