Sunday's Celebration

Sunday, Oct. 7 was the desnignated date to celebrate and reconsecrate our church sanctuary. Few days before there was talk that maybe we had been too optimistic with the date, but with hard work both Friday and Saturday nights the painting was finally done so that the curtains could be hung and the service held. Not all of the work is done. As in any renovation, there are always those additonal costs that creep in and our finance's were tight. We can testify that on three different occasions we were without the needed money, we prayed and within the next 24 hours funds arrived. We still have parts of this project that we would like to see completed, but until funds are available we stop for now. There are also other churches that are needing some similar work. We are taking time to wait to see what God would have us do before beginning anything new. We appreciate your prayers for this. Daniel was certainly busy; he was the official 'gofor' getting calls that more cement was needed, another pail of paint, etc. He put lots of miles on our vehicle and loaded it full many times. He also took care of all the payments and each week had to be sure there were enough funds to pay the workers. He was busy, but very content, and I know that God has used him in this way.
