Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who say to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water" - John 4:10

Will you join us in prayer
Prayer for more space
For several years we have prayed that God would bless us with more children in our church family. God has answered that prayer and more so. With more children, comes additional needs. Those needs go beyond simply needing more teachers and helpers. We need more space.
We are praying that God will direct us and provide us the funds needed to add additional space for our children's ministry. We would like to have 4 rooms for our children's ministry, and have them all in the same place. We would also like to have bathrooms in this space.
Our first option would be to expand our main building to the west by about 30ft. This would give us about 1200 sq. ft. This would be the minimum we would need.

The second option would be to replace an older building we have in the back with a newer building. Probably a steel building. This building could be 60 x30 or 60 x 35. This would give us about 1800 sq. ft. or so, which would allow us to have larger rooms with a bathroom or two compared to the first option. This option would also likely be cheaper.
Though we have some funds currently, we will likely need more. Thankfully we serve a mighty God. We serve a God who can do abundantly more than we can think or ask. We are not asking for money, we are asking that you would join us in praying over this issue.

maturity is a process - tony evans
In His Presence: Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine
(Ephesians 4:13-14).
God’s goal for all of us is Christlikeness, or spiritual maturity. When He saved you, He put everything necessary for this process inside you. But maturity takes time. Growing up and becoming a spiritual adult is a process, not a single event.
Spiritual adulthood is the process of God bringing us to the place where we are consistently living life from the perspective of the Spirit rather than the perspective of the flesh. Maturity in Christ means you normally look at and react to things from a spiritual perspective. God wants us to get to this place of maturity, to live as we were created to be.

But many of us are not yet living the Christlike life, which means we are immature. If we are living like that, we are children, tossed here and there by every new fad that comes along.
Becoming a mature believer takes time. You don’t become mature overnight. A baby doesn’t hop, skip, and jump into adulthood. The Bible tells us that maturity is a process: “He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6). In a very real sense, this maturing process will go on for the rest of your natural life, but there is a point you can reach where you are consistently responding to things from a spiritual perspective.
One Minute Please
Rate multiplied by time equals distance. God has made maturity possible for every believer, but what you do with your time determines the rate of your progress in arriving at the destination of maturity.
