This was the 3rd time this week that our HOPE Outreach Center was open and serving people.

It was a busy ministry day touching hearts with HOPE and LOVE in Jesus name. Our faithful volunteers are to be commended for their joyful attitude in helping those who come into our ministry center. There were lots of people moving throughout our church campus today. It thrills my heart to know that we can still host this outreach even in the midst of a flood disaster! Thanks Lord for your direction and provision in all that you have orchestrated here at Columbus First Assembly!

The tile guys were back and finished 99% of the work done on all 5 bathrooms in the new wing. What remains is just individual tiles and all the cove base (which will be arriving late...what's new, right?).

The glass guys were here to install a new glass panel in our entry doors. The seal in the previous glass panel had been compromised in the Flood of 2008. One of the many damages in this historic disaster!

I was thrilled to find a little card envelope from my friends in Virginia. They wrote me a little note and then enclosed a hefty check for our Church Flood Fund. What an encouragement and what a blessing today! I love you Phil and Linda! Thanks for your big heart...and your arms of strong support. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry and in your family!!

My daughter was in the middle of all the action @ HOPE Outreach Center today. As I've said before, her heart is moved to serve others in ministry. She really loves coming to church with her daddy. Thanks Lord for what you are doing through this outreach ministry in my daughter's heart and life. Only you know what is in store for her future...but it looks bright from this vantage point!

Gonna be a great weekend!

Love to all!
