As We Prepare To Move Into Our New Facilities (#14)
Note: Late last year Pastor Jim was doing some organizing in the Church Archives Room and came across a series of articles written back in 1993. These articles were titled "As We Prepare to Move Into Our New Facilities." In order to transition from the Chapel into the Worship Center we asked some men and women in the church to share their thoughts to help make the transition a smooth one. Because we find ourselves - 17 years later - making preparations to move into new facilities once again, it seemed like a good idea to re-run these articles to remind us of what lies ahead. The words that have been written are timeless.

God is good! He has blessed our church with great leadership and growth. We, as a family, have been blessed in many ways by being a part of this church family.
It is exciting to be involved in a building project; watching how the concrete, steel and wood go together to form our new building which is being built to glorify God. It reminds us of how we, as individual Christians, are joined together to form the body of Christ. (I Corinthians 12).
May we always keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ. By doing this we will not lose sight of our purpose...which is to glorify God and do His will. To God be the glory!
