Sign of Patience


Block work started on our new sign
Waiting with joy is a Christian practice that builds patience.  Our congregation has had to practice patience as we waited for final city and county approval for our new road sign.  That approval was granted last month and our new sign is under construction. 

The sign is the final piece of our New Connection projects that started last year.   The other projects are either completed or in process.   Last August we connected to the city sewer system and this spring we started our consultation with the architects from Station 19 regarding our master plan for our build facilities.  A final report from Station 19 will be present to the congregation this fall or winter.   All the projects were funded through the generous donations to the New Connection fund drive one year ago. Thank You for your participation

The new sign will replace the one wooden sign at our entrance on Bailey Road. It will have an electronic display board that will allow us to publicize our ministry opportunities to the many people who pass by on Bailey Road. This will help us in our mission to call all people to the vibrant life of faith in Christ.  
This past week the monument foundation was built using the same block that is part of our building.  The other pieces will be coming in the next few weeks and our sign will be completed.   Thank you for your patience in this endeavor. 

May you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully  giving thanks to the Father. Colossians 1:11

Question for reflection:  What do you think should be our first message on the sign?
