Facility Sharing
Thank you to those who have taken a little time to ask questions and discuss the idea of facility sharing. This is helping me and the rest of the council work through the issue
Please remember right now that we are focused on the big question, “Should We Share This Facility”. We won’t go forward seeking any other users without congregational input.
We’ll keep working on this question and share information as it develops. The council will meet this Tuesday May 27th to attempt to formalize a first draft of a sharing agreement.
Memorial Day
This week we honor those who gave their life to serve us. We would also like to thank our service members listed below for the sacrifices they made for us.
Even if you won’t be able to be with us this weekend, please pray for those who have served:
Heavenly Father, as our nation pauses today to remember thosechurchandstate in the military who have given their lives for freedoms we enjoy, we pray you would have us all look to you for strength, comfort and guidance. Be with all who serve in our Armed Forces. Bless them and their families. Grant your loving protection. Let peace prevail among all the nations, O God. Especially let your mercy rest upon our land, even as we acknowledge with thanksgiving your past goodness on this country. If it is your will, preserve the lives of the men and women in uniform as they defend our citizenry. Most of all, we pray that you would turn the hearts of all – military and civilian – to your holy Word where we find the true peace for our sinful souls that surpasses all understanding. Keep us repentant of sin. Move us to know, take hold and treasure your saving grace. In the name of Jesus, our Savior and Your beloved Son, who alone gives this peace and hope for eternity, we pray. Amen. (https://els.org/prayer-for-memorial-day/)
