The Lord is at Work

Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.  
Psalm 127:1

The Lord is at work in Severance! As many of you know, we are in the process of raising the funds needed to complete the renovations to our building, so that we can not only use it as our gathering space but also utilize it for the benefit of our community. I wanted to give you all an update. As of last Sunday, we have received $106, 930.00 in donations plus commitments totaling $392,565.00 over the next three years. This is a total of almost $500,000.00. With what we already have saved, we are over halfway to the needed funds of $1.2 million. We are confident that God is building His Church here in Severance, and these donations are what our faithful members have given. We still have a ways to go, but what an encouraging start.

Here is what I ask you to do. Continue to pray that God will meet our needs. Pray how He might use you to help meet these needs. Maybe you are still considering if and how you should contribute. Pray that others outside our body will also consider contributing. Then, SHARE the information and video with your family and friends. Every little bit counts. It may be $10, $100, $100,000 that someone can contribute. Let’s not say no to people simply by not asking them.

Let us not labor in vain but continually labor joyfully for the glory of His name and the good of His people.
