I've been praying a lot for our new facility planning team. They need lots of direction and help.
The Lord has greatly blessed our church. We never imagined that our membership would grow so large.
But with that growth there is the demand for more space. When our services are full, parking become a challenge.
More families are becoming a part of our church family. We thought that our Ed. Building would take care of our needs for years. But our Sunday school leaders tell us that if 8 to 10 more kids begin attending regularly, we will be maxed out - no more space.
These are good problems to have. And the facility planning team is addressing some of these issues. .
They're a good group of people. A lot of wisdom and experience there. But they need my prayers and the prayers of our church family. Even more than that, the need the guidance of the Lord.
How blessed they (and we) are that the Lord is near to them (and to us). Word and sacraments give the greatest assurance that the Lord does not leave us to our own devices but forgives, comforts, directs and empowers.
The team meets again this afternoon. May the Lord bless and keep them in their task.
