It was good to see some real progress inside the building footprint this past week! Conditions improved enough for our site contractor to continue bringing in, placing, and compacting fill, and the north end of the building has now been brought up to slab grade and compacted.
That means a portion of the building is now at the elevation where the concrete floor will eventually be poured. As conditions allow, the crew will continue working its way through the remainder of the building, placing and compacting the fill needed to bring the entire interior to slab grade.
And that sets the stage for another very visible phase of construction. Once sufficient areas are ready, our plumbing and electrical contractors can begin installing the piping and conduit that need to be in place beneath the concrete floor before the slab is poured.
After several weeks of challenging conditions, it’s encouraging to see the process moving forward again. Each section that reaches slab grade brings us another step closer to seeing our new church home begin to rise above the ground!
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 - God Knows |
|
Highlights:
Inspired by lyrics to "I Don't Need to Know" by Daniel Nahmod:
I don't need a master plan. I can live here in the moment, for my life is in good hands.
I don't need to know what the future holds, for God knows.
It comes so clear to me, that the minute I surrender, I'm as safe as I could be.
I can just let go, for God knows.
*Leddy and John DeVault after this past Sunday service. |

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! |

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!

| "God is your higher self and is in constant waiting upon you. He loves to serve, and will attend faithfully to the most minute details of your daily life. If you are a man of the world, ask Him to help you to success in any line that you may choose, and He will show you what true success is. Use Him every hour of the day. If you are in doubt about a business move, no matter how trivial, close your eyes for an instant and ask the silent one within yourself what to do, just as you would send a mental message to one whom you know and who could catch your thought. The answer may not come instantly; it may come when you least think of it, and you will find yourself moved to do just the right thing. Never be formal with God. He cares no more for forms and ceremonies than do the principles of mathematics for fine figures or elaborate blackboards" (Charles Fillmore, "Reform Your God-Thought" in Talks on Truth). |
