God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9
I’ve been thinking a lot about the faithfulness of God lately, especially in light of this extended time of transition we’ve been in. So much has happened this past year. After several months of prayer and discussion we made the decision to sell our old property on Telegraph and move to our new home here on Tenbrook. Many of you spent hours cleaning, improving, painting, updating, and helping in so many ways. We made the move in May and began the process of learning to live the new normal of a larger facility. Then came the decision to remodel the old rectory into a space for our offices, meetings, counseling, classes, etc. This has taken much longer, but is now essentially finished. Finally, Amy and I needed to find a new home since ours sold with the old church building. As you are aware, the Lord recently provided one.
All these things have now come together this weekend. On Friday, we had our first outreach event aimed at getting to know our new neighbors. This morning, we will worship together in an auditorium with enough room for our whole congregation and guests to meet together. After church, we will enjoy a time of fellowship in a space that permits us to eat together without taking shifts! Then, beginning at 1 pm, we will host an open house where you can come and see our newly finished Office and Meeting Annex. I’m excited to introduce it to you as a place for fellowship, support staff, meetings, classes, counseling, etc. And then, when today is done, Amy and I will get to go home to our own place provided by the faithfulness of God and our faithful church family. I think of all these things and can only say, “To God be the glory”
With much love and gratitude,
Pastor Scott
