Hold the Presses!
Wasn't that the words spoken just before some earth shattering news was to be released? Here goes for all you who missed our Charge Conference. What a Great Day we had yesterday. Attendance was through the roof and so was our offering. If that wasn't enough we had more pledges turned in on Sunday then we had all of 2009. Thank You Lord and All of You who so generously responded. If you missed, you can still bring your commitment card over the next few Sundays, or mail them into the church office as soon as you are able.
And to top it all off, our charge conference unanimously (and we had almost a full house) approved the next step of our building campaign. Our building committee will now select someone to provide some final drawings for our multi-purpose building, secure firm bids, arrange to have a capital campaign to raise additional funds, and then hopefully, prayerfully be ready to present the final project to our church by June 1, 2011. There is lots of hard work left to do,but I could sense the eagerness to keep moving on.
THANK YOU COVENANT FAMILY AND MOST OF ALL, WE THANK THE LORD FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS. It was a high moment yesterday, when we gathered at the Lord's Table to receive the sacrament and the symbols of HIS great love for us all.
Now to packing a few boxes of books and try to get our offices moved over to the temporary office space. We're still waiting for telephone and computer wiring to be completed. We will let you all know when we are officially in the office trailer.
Just couldn't let this morning pass, without sharing all this great news with you.
