We're pleased to report that construction of the stem walls has been completed and successfully passed inspection. On Wednesday, the walls will be filled with structural grout, creating a strong, continuous foundation around the entire footprint of the building.
Following the grout pour, the foundation will enter a curing period. During this time, test samples will be monitored, and once the grout reaches the required strength of 2,500 PSI, fill dirt can be brought in and compacted inside the stem walls to bring the building to slab grade. Depending on the test results, this process is expected to take between 7 & 28 days.
As soon as the fill dirt has been placed and compacted, the plumbing and electrical contractors will begin installing the extensive network of underground piping and conduit that will ultimately lie beneath the building's concrete floor slab. While the foundation is curing, the project team will continue meeting behind the scenes to coordinate upcoming work so that each trade is ready to move efficiently into the next phase.
Although some of the work happening over the next few weeks won't be as visible, these are essential steps that ensure the quality, strength, and longevity of our new church home. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and encouragement as we continue making steady progress toward our new church home.
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it!

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - All the Same Stuff |
|
Highlights:
Lyrics from "All the Same Stuff" by Eddie Watkins, Jr.:
Look around and everything you see is merely an outpicturing
of what's going on inside your consciousness.
If you don't like what you see, change your mind and your beliefs.
Keep what's working for you and throw out the rest.
I'm just stating the plain and simple case.
Whatever we think most about, seems to always come about
And ends up staring us right in the face.
And it's all the same stuff, since God is all there is you see
What else could anything else be.
And it's all the same stuff,
And you can rearrange it anyway you want. |

Bring the Kids to Church Every Sunday!! |
|
After a long time coming, we’ve started something new—there’s now a kids table set up in the back every Sunday!
For this season, our services are all about being together as a family while we wait for our new building and dedicated kids spaces. It’s simple, but it feels like a really meaningful step forward.
Deanna has graciously stepped up to welcome and care for our kids each week. She’ll have coloring activities available, along with a couple of iPads for them to use. Kids are also welcome to bring a tablet or phone to enjoy quietly during the service.
A big thanks to Deanna for helping make this possible! |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
God "uncovers deep things from the darkness, brings the gloom into the light" (Job 12:22).
I'll flow like the river that runs deeper than these troubles, to where trouble meets the ever-changing wind. |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

"Divine substance is 'forever waiting . . . for [us] to form it' " because it is the unformed Mind essence out of which every material thing is formed. Dr. H. Emilie Cady refers to substance as 'divine stuff' and 'God stuff' (How I Used Truth). Charles Fillmore calls it "thought stuff" (The Revealing Word): 'Divine substance is [our] supply. Out of it [we form] whatever [we] will according to [our] faith and understanding.' In divine substance ("stuff") [are] all the ideas that are the spiritual patterns for every form of creation.... Substance is all around us and in us awaiting our appropriation and use God created us as free-will beings, so [divine] substance is never forced upon us but awaits our claim. Because God is substance, the one Reality back of all manifestation, we can say that 'we live, and move, and have our being' ( Acts 17:28) in this one substance.... 'Substance cannot be seen, touched, tasted, or smelled, yet it is more substantial than matter, for it is the only substantiality in the universe.' Substance ... is never withheld .... God withholds nothing from God's beloved children" (Lesson 9, Annotation 6, How I Used Truth by H. Emilie Cady). |
