We officially have an occupancy permit to worship in our new worship area! Wahoo! As of this morning, we received the final inspection approval for our building project. Over the past 18+ years, I am sure there were times when this was merely a distant dream. Today we praise our great God who has allowed this to become reality!
Our plans are to worship in our new space within a few weeks but our Grand Opening will be on Sunday, December 13. We have already begun transferring lights and AV equipment. You have been very patient to this point and I know you will continue to be patient with this process too! Continue to pray for this area to become home for many who need Jesus!

3. SUNDAY
Our God cares about us. That is a given. But God cares about so many other things that we do not pay as much attention to. Invite a friend Sunday as we continue our series Things God Cares About. This week we talk about the highly charged subject that God cares about: "Homosexuals".
Most of us do not want to talk about Christmas yet but you may be thinking of gifts by now. Here is an idea: Instead of giving each other gifts you may not want or even need, commit as a family to support a missionary, help a family get out of poverty, bless a village with bees or a new well or a latrine. Christmas is for giving. Think outside of your own box! Here is a catalog to help. http://catalog-us.worldrenew.
