 As you can see in the photo above, concrete block is now stacked on our newly poured floor slab, ready for the masons to begin constructing the walls on the north half of the building. Unfortunately, the recent wet weather prevented them from getting started as planned, but they're expected to mobilize this week.
Meanwhile, the dirt work on the south end continues to inch closer to completion. We're now down to approximately one foot of fill dirt that still needs to be placed and compacted before that portion of the building reaches slab grade. We'll need the ground to dry out again before that final work can be completed, but we're getting closer!
We also received some welcome news this week: our windows are on their way! They're expected to arrive on site by mid to late November, another encouraging sign that the pieces are continuing to come together.
While the weather hasn't always cooperated, there's no question that things are moving forward. With the block ready for wall construction, the south end nearing slab grade, and windows on the way, we're looking forward to seeing more of our new church home take shape in the weeks ahead!
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: My Grateful Heart |
|
|
 This Sunday, Leddy looks at gratitude as a way to open our hearts to faith, grace, and new possibilities. Drawing on Psalms, Wisdom, and Deb Chamberlin's "Here in My Grateful Heart," she invites us to believe in the good unfolding in our lives and receive it with a grateful heart.
Highlights: Lyrics to "Here in My Grateful Heart" by Deb Chamberlin:
Here in my grateful heart – I believe.
Here in my grateful heart – I conceive of my soul’s desires as the Good conspires for my grateful heart to receive.
With a grateful heart, right here in this place, I am filled to overflowing, filled with gratitude and grace.
Here in my grateful heart, something wondrous is now happening through me, a life of endless possibility. |

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! ❤️

Healing Thought & Weekly Affirmation # 345 |
|
|
 The highest form of prayer is to open your mind and quietly realize that the one omnipresent intelligence knows your thoughts and instantly answers even before you have audibly expressed our desire. This being true, you should ask, and at the same time give thanks that you have already received. Jesus expressed this idea in Mark 11:24. 'Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever you pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.'
Before He broke the loaves and fishes and miraculously fed the five thousand, He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. When He raised Lazarus He first said, 'Father, I thank thee that thou heardest me. And I knew that thou hearest me always.' Then he commanded Lazarus to come forth (Charles Fillmore, Cofounder of the Unity Movement). |
