Exciting Times

These really are exciting times for our church family. There is just so much going on and coming together that makes me so excited about what God is doing here. My last post was about our new praise time on Wednesday evening. To be honest I really didn't know how that was going to work. I didn't know if the older people would come down to the youth center and participate. I didn't know how the teens would react to their space being invaded. I have to say I was greatly encouraged.

We had a number of older members come in and enthusiastically participate. At first the teens kind of moved away and huddled up out of the way. However, when we got ready to sing they came over and sat in the middle of everything and joined right in. I can see a lot of good things coming about as a result of these few minutes spent together in praise in the middle of the week.

Tomorrow is the great clean out. We are clearing out all the storage areas and reorganizing them. We will keep what is useful, sell what we don't need but is good, and trash the rest. We have a lot of work ahead of us so I hope we will have a lot of help show up to work.

Also, work has begun on sprucing up our old foyer and hallways around the auditorium. Even though we are a long way from being done, just the few changes that have begun have made a big difference. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished product and how it will help our facility reflect the warmth and friendliness of our family.

Over the last few weeks we have had new families coming to work with us with more being added this week and several others visiting. Add this to some additional changes we hope to be able to announce soon as well as some behind the scenes stuff that is going on and it is all pointing to a great future for this family.

God is good all the time!
