Building Project Update (March 2, 2018)

[slideshow_deploy id=’18495′]

Our construction project is continuing with work now having started on the new Youth facility we’re building. Site grading and demolition has begun and the Boy Scout hut will soon be moved to it’s new location back from where it currently sits. There is a lot of grading and leveling to be done in addition to multiple de-watering installations that will be constructed into the site and building foundation.

The Sanctuary is nearing completion with the paint work almost finished. The new carpet has been installed and the pew cushions will soon be returning. The fire sprinkler system and new air handler for the Sanctuary air conditioning have been installed.

We’ve also installed a new voice evacuation system throughout the church so we can notify either all or selected parts of the church facility of any emergency that may be occurring.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support of this effort to be good stewards of the wonderful resource God has given us.

First Steps – February 26, 2018

Recently, my daughter turned 16 years old. Yep, that means she can drive now. As her parent, there is a new level of freedom and anxiety. Freedom in the sense that she can drive herself and less time is required in running her taxi-service. More anxiety for us because she is driving and we don’t have the same level of control over her safety.

As she was preparing to drive, she would watch me as I drove. Naturally, she pointed out all the things that I did wrong.

“Dad, you didn’t use your blinker.”
“Dad, you are speeding.”
“Dad, you are not supposed to balance the steering wheel with your knee.”

I wanted to respond with all types of justifications. Yet, I knew she was right.

How often do we want to justify our actions with the Holy Spirit? The Finger of God touches an area of our life and we instantly want to give reasons why it is out of sorts. Resist that temptation. Acknowledge that it is there and needs to change. Invite God into the change process surely he will lead you.

This week’s reading:
Monday – Luke 1
Tuesday – Luke 2
Wednesday – Luke 3
Thursday – Luke 4
Friday – Luke 5
Please Pray for:
Our Nation and Our Leaders
Phase 2 (Renovation of Current Facilities)
Phase 3 (Construction of New Youth Building)
Traveling mercies for St. Paul members on trips and retreats, locally and abroad
