April 2005 - Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! May the Risen Lord breathe the Holy Spirit into each of us so that we will be empowered and strengthened to respond to our world with the many tasks before us. We are called to be “Easter People”. Because we are baptized and continue to be nourished at the table of our Lord, we are called to be “Living In God’s Love and Reaching Out With Hope!”
One year ago we were contemplating partnering with Kairos. After the initial phase of our capitol campaign – God’s Hope Our Journey, we are continuing to respond to the challenge of $906,000 over the next three years. The Building Ministry Team interviewed several contractors on April 4. After a contractor is chosen, Bob Saas of Eidos Architects, LLC will continue working with the City of Lakewood. The city has already given Mr. Saas a positive response. The next step is that plans will be developed with the contractor, Mr. Saas and the City to bring back to our Building Ministry Team for consideration. This is an ongoing process until the City understands the amount of money pledged and what our building budget is. Ground breaking has already changed to September or October and we can expect more changes. We will make every effort to keep everyone informed of our progress. Pray for your Building Ministry Team. Ron Lorenz, chairman; Jan Harding, Jade Santoro, Michael Lewellen, Steve Riedel, Bob Lombard, Ron Andersen, Pastor Jim and Pastor Del. They have many decisions of great responsibility to the congregation before them in the coming months. Please bring any questions you might have to any of them or to Pastor Jim or Pastor Del.
Pray for our Mission together! Pray that God will breathe new life into us for each day! May we have the courage to be honest, compassionate, and loving to each other as God through Christ has shown us duringthe past Lenten Journey, Holy Week and Easter. We continue now in the Easter Season on our way to Pentecost! The journey will be exciting as we respond to the call of our Lord to be “Easter People” living in this complicated world!
