Great Transition Sunday!

 

G'day Friends,

Well our name change is official.  We've got a new sign, and we've had a "Transition Service" to commemorate and celebrate the event!  Our 4pm service yesterday included some of our ABWE coworkers, our former church plant pastor (Sam), some from a sister church, some former members of Berean Baptist Church, and some new visitors!  Even though some of our regular attenders were missing, we had about 27 in attendance.  We had a lovely service with some challenging and encouraging thoughts from Pastor Steve and Pastor Sam, and Matt spoke on Jeremiah 29:11-14--God knows, and He has our best in mind!

This Saturday night we're trying to keep up the momentum by showing the film "Courageous."  This week will be a push for advertising and inviting to the film.  Pray that we'll have a good turnout!

This week on our property we hoped see the piers built up and the laying of the bearers and joists for our floor. Do to delays all that should now happen next week.  It will be so nice to start to see some progress.  God has been good and the weather has been more cooperative lately!

We will be welcoming a ministry team from California on the 31st, who will be helping with some of the ongoing renovations and improvements to the church property.  Thank you to those who come and help out in this ministry.

Amy had a good spring break, and is back at the studies again.  Only about six more weeks til her first year at Cedarville will be done!  We are praying with her about her summer plans.  We expect she'll come back home for the three-month break.  Pray that she will find appropriate employment so she can save money for next year's tuition!

Thank you for all your prayers.  Continue to pray with us for the funds we will need to go to the London Olympics for evangelism.

In His service
