This past Saturday truly marked a major milestone in our building journey as the first concrete was poured for our new church home! Four concrete trucks arrived on site to place the footings at the north end of the building, officially beginning the foundation that will support the structure for generations to come. The pour was monitored by our engineering and testing teams to ensure everything met the project's specifications.
The momentum continued on Monday as the masonry contractor began laying out and excavating the footings in the middle section of the building, preparing for additional concrete work in the days ahead.
Meanwhile, the site contractor is scheduled to install the outlet control structures this week. These important underground components are part of the stormwater management system that will safely handle rainwater runoff from the building and surrounding property.
For several months, much of the work on our site has involved clearing, grading, utilities, and preparing the ground beneath our feet. Now, for the first time, we can point to concrete in the ground and say with joy: our new church home is truly beginning to rise.
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 - Being Free |
|
Highlights:
Inspired by lyrics to "Now I'm Free" by Faith Rivera" --
One small step I take today. One small thing to start a change.
I’m just one but when it’s begun, there’s no stopping me now.
Once I opened my heart, now there’s room left for me.
I can love so much deeper, 'cause there’s love for me.
And my life, it is richer than I’ve ever seen. Now I’m free.
One big world I find today. One big leap I get to take.
I’m the one who’s walked, now I’ll run! There’s no stopping me now.
I’m the one who’s walked. Now I’ll run, then fly!
Now I’m free. So, you’re free. We are free! |

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:
"I lead you on straight paths. When you walk, your step will not be impeded, and should you run, you will not stumble" (Proverbs 4:11,12).
"If I take one step in the right direction, if I touch one heart along the way, and if that one step becomes a chain reaction, then my journey has not been in vain.” (Harold Payne) |

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!

"You and I, dear reader, have already come to ourselves. Having become conscious of an oppressive bondage, we have arisen and set out on the journey ... to the land of liberty, and now we cannot turn back if we would.... God's 'fullness of the time' now [has arrived] for you to arise and begin to claim your inheritance.... for you to be free.... Your holding to the words, 'Christ is the way,' when you are perplexed and confused and can see no way of escape, will invariably open a way of complete deliverance" (H. Emilie Cady, "Bondage or Liberty, Which?" in Lessons in Truth, 1895). |
