One month from today!

June 17, 2016 That’s right, in exactly one month (July 17th) we will be dedicating our new church! I was hoping we could get everyone into one service so that we could all experience the first service together – but I am having my doubts that this will be possible. We were told by someone at the Alexandria city building that they receive calls every day from people in the community asking when the new church is opening! Is that crazy, or what?! I knew the interest in the community was high – but people calling every day? Perhaps we will continue with our 9 and 11 AM service schedule, even for Dedication Sunday. Stay posted for more details. In the meantime, please keep Happy Wade and his crew and all of our contractors in your prayers as they work to finish the church over the next four weeks. Also, please pray that God will meet every need as we push toward the finish line. We are making a substantial draw from our construction account next week that is going to bring us close to the total amount we have allocated for the project. It’s going to be very close! Your ongoing financial support has made this entire project possible. Thank you so much! Block Party/Open House at the New Church – 2-6 PM on Saturday July 9th As a way to let the folks in and around Alexandria know that we are coming to be a blessing to the community; we are going to host a completely free block party one week before our first service. This will include big inflatable bouncy games, a petting zoo, a kid’s train ride, Kona Ice, hot dogs and more. Please mark the date and come prepared to meet, serve and bless the community as we invite them to check-out our new home. Honoring Dads this Sunday at The Bridge Hey all you Dads, we are going to honor you big time at The Bridge this Sunday. Why not ask your kids to be there so they can hear how awesome you are? See you Sunday! Bo
