G'day Friends,
This is the week! This Sunday is Transition Sunday. We will no longer be Berean Baptist Church. We will be Living Hope Baptist Church! The new sign is being installed on Thursday, and Sunday afternoon we've invited friends, former members and those who've helped us through the years to a 4:00 recognition service for our new church! You are welcome to go to our website and check us out--just be aware that it's still under construction. If you see any glitches, please let us know!
On the 24th, we're showing the film "Courageous," hoping to draw many unsaved from our community.
Whew! It's a busy month for us. We have a ministry work team coming from the US to work on the church property during the first week of April.
With Easter coming, we are also planning our annual Easter Hymn Sing for Good Friday evening, as well of course our Easter Sunday service.
This is also the week we drilled on our property. The holes for the piers are done, concrete was poured on Thursday, and then the builder can get to work on the foundation/floor when things dry. Thursday was also delivery day for the "lock-up kit" (all the walls, windows, and roofing). We are thankful for the clearer weather to be able to dry out and get digging!
In all of this Matt has hurt his back. X-rays are set for Friday morning. Pray all is well and that it is just a muscle issue.
Please pray with us for all these events and happenings. We are excited about what God is going to do!
In His service
