Update April 3, 2002

God is still in charge and we are learning how to function and minister in the face of change. So many of Christians around the world face this fact squarely every day that it is almost embarrassing to admit this is something new for us.

What's happening?
Ministries continue to strive for a "100% Care Rate" through our worship community, fellowship and caring. We continually search for innovative ways to serve everyone's needs. This community helped put a man on the moon. Doubling and sometimes tripling up in room utilization is small potatoes compared to that.

Most churches grow beyond home base and build a central congregational structure. We are simply returning to our roots. Sometimes it takes seeing members in their native setting (easy chair, baby toys, or bad carpet choice) to get to know them better.

Remember when Joshua was told to march around Jericho to conquer the city? It seemed pretty far-fetched, but results came from doing things differently.

Change and innovation are the gatekeepers of this project. With God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

Addendum: On the afternoon of Tuesday, April 9th, there will be a major meeting with the insurance adjuster, after which time we will have a good deal more information.
