New Era

Last Sunday marked our first service in our new location, and I must say the building is striking and incredible!

The first thing I noticed when I stood up to start the service was the spiritual brick walls I was constantly fighting through at the Queen Margaret Union felt completely absent.  There is something special about worship and bible teaching in a location saturated in years of prayer, bible teaching, and faithful following of Jesus Christ. 

My biggest encouragement in this whole process (and there are many) has been the warm and genuine welcome from the leadership of Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church.  They exude a love and maturity in Christ that blows me away.

Here are some pictures of our new location.  Yes, it is stunning. No, the pews are actually not bad as they are padded and well spaced.  God has proven once again that he still hears prayers by doing something so amazing for us and I am filled with joy.

2 Big Things

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

First of all, after months of searching, many “No’s”, and a global prayer effort we have finally received a “Yes!”

Kelvin Stevenson Memorial Church (just a short walk away) has voted to allow us use of their building on Sunday afternoon/early evening; AS WELL AS THURSDAY NIGHTS.

We are also launching a mid-week Thursday night service!!!

Secondly, on another exciting note, our church is teaching a bible overview course this weekend using pictures, maps, and time-lines.  It seems there is much confusion on when certain people and events take place in relation to each other in scripture.

To illustrate our confusion, some brilliant people in our church put together this comical promotional video.
