Community Survey

I have I said lately how exciting the move of our church to a new location has been. Well it is. For sure, it is a lot of work as well, walls not holding paint, a little bit longer drive from home to the building, and a few electrical problems, but those are things that come with any move.

As I mentioned in a recent post we are in the middle of 40 days of prayer and fasting right now with our church asking God for direction and guidance as we enter this new neighborhood. Our last day is August 8, so please continue to pray with us. What I am excited about today is the community survey we are planning to do this coming Sunday. This coming Sunday after worship we are planning to go into our neighborhood and ask people to help us know the needs of our community and discern God’s will. While the survey in and of itself is very exciting I am thrilled to see the church excited about survey as well. We are called to be a people who step out our back door into the world around us and I see the church catching that vision more than I have ever seen it before.

As you pray this week, please remember our survey this coming Sunday. Pray that God will help us not only learn how we can help, but that we will be able to start building relationships with our neighbors. Pray as well that any fears that exist within our church will be over ridden by our faith in God and our love those He created.
