Basement storage receives 8 new shelves. Thanks David Holman!Another milestone was made this past week as we resurrected our Sunday School program.
That's right...as a result of the flood for over 10 months we had to do without our Sunday School classes. It was painful. It was difficult. However, we just didn't have the classroom space from which to conduct our small group discipleship classes. But that all changed last Sunday when we opened up all 12 of our newly restored classrooms, plus other spaces used for our Christian Education program. SUNDAY, APRIL 19TH WAS A GREAT DAY!
Help me in getting the word out to our CFA family all over the Bartholomew County region. It's time to get up earlier on Sunday mornings and bring the family to Sunday School. In fact, EVERYBODY OUGHT TO GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL! What is the time for Sunday School? Glad you asked...9 am. Come a little earlier and you can enjoy some soft and delicious donuts, plus a hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of orange juice. What an awesome way to begin the Lord's Day. I'll see you this Sunday in Sunday School!
Last night we enjoyed our 2nd Wednesday back for mid-week services. The place was buzzing with activity and a crowd of people headed to their respective ministry areas. My class was filled up...in fact, we had to get more chairs. The youth held their Blow-Out Bash service in the fellowship hall. The children were filing into their new classrooms. What a beautiful picture: Everyone was studying God's Word...PRICELESS!
The Dedication Day ministry team met for the first time on Tuesday. Plans and preparations are being laid for the next BIG milestone event in CFA's 57 year history: DEDICATION OF OUR NEWLY RESTORED REGIONAL WORSHIP CENTER! Don't forget the date: Sunday, June 7th @ 10 am!!
There are only about 5 weeks left till Dedication Day. Let me remind you to pray about our DEBT FREE PRAYER that we are asking everyone to pray about. We are faithfully praying that our Great God would graciously provide the funds (about $200,000 remaining) to pay off all costs associated with the flood rebuilding project. If God is nudging you to help us let me direct you to go to our website and make an online donation. Never forget: WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I've left you with some more photos of our recent Egg Hunt outreach event, plus some more photos of our restored facility.
Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep watching. Keep expecting!
Love to all!
