“Where has the summer gone?” If you haven’t said it yourself yet, you will (because if nothing else you just read it. Gotcha!). With the month of September rolling around we look back to May or June, thinking of all the plans we had for the season, what we set out to accomplish, and then compare those thoughts with what we actually did get done. If you are like me, and like most people for that matter, you didn’t get to everything on your list. We all had every intention of doing it, thinking that we had plenty of time. But now we look back and say well I always thought I had more time, but now it’s time to focus on other pressing issues.
But I also believe there is no time like the present. It is with this understanding and blessing that we are pleased to be starting the first phase of our church capital campaign: Building on the Solid Rock. We have known for sometime that we have things to do with our property and our building to ensure we are meeting the needs of our ministries and our community for years to come. But for many reasons, some of them good ones, we have put those decisions off until now. But now as I said, there is no time like the present. God is the God who places new challenges before us, and while we have some lofty goals in terms of the funds we will need to make this campaign a success, I am confident that we will be able to meet that challenge and fund not only these projects but even more ministries of our church.
I believe the time is now and I trust that God’s leading will enable and empower us to do some great things not only this coming fall, but in the years to come. So let us focus on that Solid Rock, where our foundation is built, Christ Jesus. Let us remember that it is Christ whom we build our hope upon. With that hope, we can build upon that sure foundation that was laid well before us, and ensure it will be there for generations to come. Together, we can accomplish great things in Christ the solid Rock.
Peace and Prayers
Rev. Steve
