Pastor's Letter

Don't forget to set your clocks BACK one hour before you go to bed this coming Saturday night! Enjoy your extra hour of sleep!

Also, we will NOT have Wednesday Night Prayer and Praise at Old Humbldt Road this coming Wednesday evening at 5pm. Because we are pushing hard to be in our new building, we will meet at our new location and continue hanging sheet rock AND have a time to pause and pray for each other. We made a LOT of progress last night. With most of the walls up, you get a really good picture of how the church is going to look! If you haven't seen it yet, come by and take a look!

We received $2000 toward our $10,000 "building campaign" this past Sunday. We want to thank those who helped us toward our goal. Last night I spoke with the sign company and was told that our new sign would cost $4000! That's $2500 more than our old sign cost! In our new location, the building restrictions require each letter to be lighted. So we ask that even if you can't give right now, to please pray for God's favor. We've NEVER lacked for anything at Promise Church. God has ALWAYS provided. I believe that's come because of the steadfast prayers of our church body! So keep praying for favor! We're believing in James 5:16! "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results."

We also want to thank ALL of those who have contributed their labor to the building project. Many churches simply pay contractors to come in and do the work for them. I know it's been hard sometimes, but it has truly been a blessing to be a part of a team that has done the work. Not only have I learned how to hang sheet rock - a skill I'm still learning as you can see on my "practice wall" - but I've enjoyed the tremendous fellowship with church members who have given of their time and talents. Because of their efforts, the church has been "saved" literally thousands of dollars. More importantly than that though - when we worship, we will do so knowing that our labor over the past couple of months has been a holy offering to God!

We're still praying to be in by the middle of November. We will keep you posted on the EXACT Sunday we will begin worshipping in the new space. We have already planned an exciting Sunday of celebration so you will definitely want to be a part of our FIRST DAY in our new location!!!!

Remember God loves you and that you were created for GREATNESS in His kingdom!

See you Sunday!
