Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who say to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water" - John 4:10

Will you join us in prayer
Prayer for more space
For several years we have prayed that God would bless us with more children in our church family. God has answered that prayer and more so. With more children, comes additional needs. Those needs go beyond simply needing more teachers and helpers. We need more space.
We are praying that God will direct us and provide us the funds needed to add additional space for our children's ministry. We would like to have 4 rooms for our children's ministry, and have them all in the same place. We would also like to have bathrooms in this space.
Our first option would be to expand our main building to the west by about 30ft. This would give us about 1200 sq. ft. This would be the minimum we would need.

The second option would be to replace an older building we have in the back with a newer building. Probably a steel building. This building could be 60 x30 or 60 x 35. This would give us about 1800 sq. ft. or so, which would allow us to have larger rooms with a bathroom or two compared to the first option. This option would also likely be cheaper.
Though we have some funds currently, we will likely need more. Thankfully we serve a mighty God. We serve a God who can do abundantly more than we can think or ask. We are not asking for money, we are asking that you would join us in praying over this issue.

wisdom from the psalms
Psalms 49:16-17
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Shied Industries was made great by one man: Grayson Shields. He devoted himself to his work, and he made a fortune by his efforts. During his climb to the top, he experienced tow divorces; lost both parents, but was unable to attend their funerals because of business conflicts; watched his health deteriorate; and was in part responsible for the suicide of one of his competitors. To his way of thinking, the benefits always outweighed the costs.

Men like Shields are not unusual in our world today. Nothing stands in the way of their climb to the top. Sadly, these men do not realize they have set an inferior goal for themselves. The top of the corporate ladder is far short of the top of the eternal ladder that God has set before us. What does it profit a man to save his life, if he forfeits his soul? Men and women who have sacrificed themselves totally to earthly gain can carry nothing with them beyond the grave. There they will stand naked to face judgment for a life poorly lived. Is it worth the price?
Prayer: Make my life worthwhile, Lord. Set my sights on treasures that never fade away. Get my mind off of earthly blessings and onto the blessings that come from above. Amen.
