This is the Day . . .

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Groundbreaking was a glorious day. The Lord granted us beautiful weather and a church filled with joyful voices. What a privilege to receive the gifts our Lord so lovingly provides to His bride the Church.

After the Nunc Dimittis the congregation processed outside for the official groundbreaking ceremony. What a significant moment in the life of our church and school. Many have stepped forward in faith and trust that the Lord will continue to bless us here in the place. The Lord promises to keep His Word and the promise that His Word will never return to Him empty. This day was about more than a building. The community of believers in this place are moving forward to share the Gospel to the very ends of the earth. The building represents our commitment to "set the Word" (to steal a line from Pastor Murray's sermon) in the best setting possible so that many will hear it and be saved. May the Lord bless the work and may He keep safe all of those who will labor in this place.
