We continue to wait for the last few items on our building permit to be approved. The only items left are site related issues and it is our understanding that the school's contractor will complete the remaining items shortly. Once those items are finally passed, our permit will be green lighted by the city.
Meantime, our former building is looking terrific (pic above) and will be available to us on Sundays once the school is able to obtain their temporary certificate of occupancy.
The path has certainly been long & challenging, but we have held together & we’ll finish strong!
We are deeply grateful for the steadfast faith of all those whose gifts of love and substance sustain our Church during this time of transition. We are glad to welcome new friends on Sundays!
Our
beautiful new Church Home is being built for us in wisdom, love, and
divine timing and we are ready to receive it! |

This Sunday: Leddy Hammock - Closer than You Think
|
|
Lyrics to “Closer than You Think” - Sue Riley, Glen Roethel & Melinda Wood Allen:
“When all your dreams are hooked on a shooting star
And the star falls down, remember how great you are.
You are the guiding star you need….
Your day in the sun, the moment seems lost in time,
When the sun sinks low, remember how bright you shine.
You are the only light you need….
The road is long, and you feel weary.
Take one more step, you are nearly home.
Shadows of time, love that has passed you by
And your hope runs out. Give it just one more try.
Love may be closer than you think.
Don't stop now. You're closer than you think. |

Last Sunday's Shining Words:
“By paths unknown I will guide them. I will turn darkness light before them, and make crooked ways straight…. I will not forsake them” (Isaiah 42:16).
Even when we could not see the path before us, the way has been revealed. We have not traveled alone. The joy is in the journey. |

What is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT)
Your body is more powerful than you may imagine, filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing.
Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques that utilize the body’s energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, literally tapping into your body’s own energy and healing power.
Gather with a great group of positive and supportive folks with healing in mind!

God "lays no great burden upon us' a little remembrance of Him from time to time; a little adoration; sometimes to pray for His grace, sometimes to offer Him your sorrows, and sometimes to offer Him thanks for the benefits He has given you, and still gives you, in the midst of your troubles. He asks you to console yourself with Him the oftenest you can. Lift up your heart to Him even at your meals when you are in company, the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him You need not cry very loud; He is nearer than you think" (Brother Lawrence, 17th century Lay Carmelite Monk in France, in Practicing the Presence of God). |
