Deuteronomy 11:2 Remember what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with Him. Deuteronomy 4:9 Be careful to never forget what you see God doing for you. May His miracles have a deep and permanent affect on your lives. Tell your children and grandchildren about the glorious miracles that He did. Psalm 77:14 You are the God of miracles and wonders, you still demonstrate Your awesome power. Psalm 78:7 In this way, each generation has been able to set it's hope a new on God and not forget His glorious miracles. Ephesians 3:20 Now glory be to God who by His mighty power at work within us, is able to do far more than we could ever dare to ask, or even dream of. Infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, and have made Him their hope and confidence. Isaiah 49:23 Anybody that trusts in me will not be disappointed....

The carpet is nearly complete throughout the building. We are only a couple days away from moving in! The rear projection screen has been installed in the sanctuary. It looks sharp! The new children's registration desk is in place. It is visible from both building entrances, to make for an easy check-in process when families arrive for church.

Great news this morning! For all of you out there who are charting the progress of this monumental undertaking of buying real estate and renovating a church.... WE ARE IN! This morning we passed all final inspections and we can start moving into our new facility right away. On Sunday Aug 15th after service at the old location, we will begin the massive undertaking of moving into the new facility. Our first service in the new location is scheduled to be Sunday Aug 22nd. We need everyone to pitch in and volunteer a few hours to help move the church. We will be taking sign-ups at service this weekend. This is a huge and exciting moment for the life of our church. It is Jesus Christ that makes all things new. He has just done something that should leave you saying, "Wow, that was so God." In coming weeks and months, he is going to continue His work and leave you saying, "Wow, that was so God." I love you all, and I can't wait to celebrate this week with you. Pastor Ben

Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
