Big Baby Steps
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t like change. If given a choice I’d make sure things would always stay the same, but gradually get better. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Yet that’s not how things happen in the real world. Change usually comes in punctuated lurches. The bigger the lurch, the more profound the change. For those who share my aversion to change these jumps can be a bit scary, even when the change is for the better.
Well, the church is making another jump forward. After meeting in a home for over a year and a half we are moving into a building. Just this morning I signed the lease and was given the key to our first building. It’s all very exciting.
There is some work that needs to be done before it will meet our minimum needs but, hopefully, it won’t take too long. Kellie has broken out her paint chip decks (Note that I said decks, plural; any truly avid designer has more than one of these on their person at all times!) and is trying to come up with a pleasing set of colors.
At the end of the day, we know God is leading us as we take this step. As things begin to take shape and the plans begin to come together we know they’ll have His fingerprints all over them.
Here are a few pictures of the building that were taken when we were still just looking:
Looking to the front of the sanctuary from the entrance area.
This will be the entrance to the Children’s Ministry area:
The front door looking toward the end of the building:
So, pretty crazy, huh? If you’re curious, the building is located here.

This is so exciting! Eric and I are praying that God continues to work in your ministry. We miss you guys so much!
Wow! This is exciting. I haven’t talked to Sheri much lately so I’m kind of out of the loop. Also, I’m afraid I’m not very good at getting on the computer. I need to do better! I hope you guys are doing ok. It sounds like you are from the little tidbits I’ve picked up here & there. By the way, Kellie, I did try to send you a birthday card this year (I didn’t forget!), but it was returned. Apparently, you aren’t using the box # I have for you. What is your new address? Thank goodness for your website. I’ll try to do better about staying connnected this way. I’m heading out to spend a week with your folks at the end of Nov. Sure miss seeing you guys when I’m there!
I am excited about this answer to prayer. Take plenty of before and after pictures to share with us folks out here on the left coast. What a blessing for your group to have a building to grow into. Love you.

We are so excited for you and can’t wait to see the new church. You are in our prayers!
Praising the Lord for what He is doing. We are always praying for you all. Miss everyone of you. May God be Magnified!
