We Give Thanks!!!
On October 31,2007 we received our Occupancy Certificate!
It took twenty months of hard work. We are now able to move forward with the clouds of frustration removed. This is a huge step for us and we can all celebrate this gift that will challenge us in new ways. You all may feel proud of this accomplishment as there will be no more inspections to pass. Only the mission and vision for the future lies before us.
What a glorious way to move into November, the month of Thanksgiving. We indeed have much to be thankful for. In November we usually make new commitments for the coming year. This year we are able to look forward with new vision! We will not be sending out pledge cards and commitment sheets because we want to plan for the next capital campaign for 2008. Some Executive Committee members have been meeting to vision for the future. We are challenged by our financial commitments-new mortgage and ministry programs. Please carefully look at our Treasurers report to understand our challenges. We have now made two mortgage payments of $11,531.00 and we are asking each of us to prayerfully consider how we can help each other meet these challenges. We need each others support with our time, talents, and fmances more than ever. We knew this wasn't going to be easy and now is the challenging moment.
As we prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas, may we all consider how we can share the opportunities that we have to allow our God to lead us with vision and hope into the future. Thanks for your support during the past twenty months as this hasn't been fun or easy for all of us. Now the fun and excitement begins. Pray that we all might come together to meet the future with JOY!
