Mark your calendar and plan to be present for an historic day in the life of our church. On April 19, 2009 we will celebrate the completion of phase 1 of our expansion project. I have asked our former pastor, Jimmy Patterson to come and preach in both morning services. Pastor Jimmy is the most gifted expositor of God’s Word you will ever hear. His wife Amy will also inspire you through her music. You will want to invite your family members and friends to join you for worship and Life Group on this great day!
After the second morning service we will gather outside the new Preschool/Children’s building for a brief dedication service. At this ceremony we will offer gratitude to God for the completion of the effort, dedicate the facilities to God's glory and purposes, express appreciation to those who labored to bring it to pass, and welcome our neighbors to our campus. There will be an Open House immediately following the ceremony.
Here is what I need you to do:
1. Pray for God to be glorified in a mighty way.
2. Be present in a Life Group.
3. Help your Life Group contact all the people on your ministry roll with an invitation to the group.
4. Bring a building fund offering over and above your regular budget giving.
5. Be in your place of service (ushers, nursery workers, choir members, etc.)
6. Be prepared to welcome and assist many guests to our campus on that day!
7. Give the closest parking to guests and those who need it most.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV)
