 What a difference a week makes! As you can see in the photo above, our masonry crew made excellent progress last week, and the concrete block walls on the north half of our new church home are beginning to take shape. We’re finally getting a much clearer picture of the building’s layout and the spaces that will eventually welcome our congregation!
Meanwhile, work on the south half is moving forward as well. The remaining fill dirt is scheduled to be placed and compacted this week, bringing that portion of the building up to slab grade. Our plumbing contractor is also scheduled to return to install the underground piping that is to be in place before the remaining concrete floor can be poured.
With walls going up on one half of the building and preparations for the floor slab progressing on the other, it’s encouraging to see work advancing on both fronts. Each week brings us closer to seeing the vision of our new church home become a reality!
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: Keep the Table Set
|
|
|
|
 This Sunday, Leddy looks at the table God sets for us as a feast of every good thing. Drawing on Psalms, Mark, and David Roth's "Keep the Table Set," she invites us to give thanks in advance, expecting good and only good.
Highlights:
Lyrics to "Keep the Table Set" by David Roth:
God has set the table for a feast of every good thing. My mindset is to expect the best.
I give thanks in advance, expecting good and only good.
I shine all my dishes with my dreams and my wishes and I keep the table set.
I believe that God’s table is set for all people. We say grace in many ways and stay grateful.
We bring hope and peace to the table that God has set for us all to share.

A Special Place for Our Youngest Churchgoers!
|
|
 Did you know we have a kids table set up at the back of our sanctuary every Sunday?
While we look forward to having dedicated Youth Ministry classrooms in our new building, we're making sure our youngest visitors have a place to feel welcome and comfortable right now!
Deanna, one of our wonderful Youth Ministry team members, is there to welcome the kids and help them feel at home. We have coloring activities and a couple of iPads available, and children are welcome to bring their own tablet or phone to enjoy quietly during the service.
We may be meeting in a school cafeteria for now, but we're still a church family—and that includes our kids!
So bring the whole family on Sunday! We'd love to see more young faces joining us.
And a big thank-you to Deanna for helping make this possible! ❤️

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
"In the night I meditate in my heart; … I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, your wonders of old I will remember" (Psalm 77: 6-12).
Here in my grateful heart, something wondrous is now happening through me, a life of endless possibility.

Healing Thought & Weekly Affirmation # 346
|
|
|
 The story of God's people on their journey toward the Promised Land is symbolic of our soul growth. The 'table set in order' in the Tabernacle represents the expectation and orderly appropriation of the blessings Spirit has prepared for each of us. Unity author Eric Butterworth had this to say on the topic: "I look back on a very happy life; my mind turns nostalgically to our mother. She was a great soul, and many of you have heard me talk about her at times. She was great because she was able to face up to a very difficult life. I had a father who was beloved, but terribly irresponsible. He was a gambler, and he wasn’t a very good one. So that many times that I can remember through the years, our father would get up to his ears in debts, mortgage the house out from under us, and leave mother and four children with no resources, I emphasize no resources.… Mother experienced this often, but among bigger occasions I remember, she had an unswerving conviction, the universe is always seeking to give you the fullness of life. She would always say of any need, 'I give thanks for abundance. I give thanks for healing. I give thanks.' She always preceded her thought about anything that was a problem, that 'I give thanks.'… Mother would often gather the four of us with her, we’d hold hands in a circle, she would give thanks for divine order, and for abundance, for protection." |
