I know everyone is looking forward to an awesome weekend. Sunday morning is going to be great, so make sure you come on out. There will be some classroom moves for kids, and information will be posted when you check them in.
Here are some important updates on The Big Move:
- As we discussed this past Sunday, we are in the process of re-naming the church. Our leadership team has already re-organized our operations under Coastal Ministries, Inc. THIS IS NOT OUR FINAL CHURCH NAME! :)
In the coming days, our elders will narrow ideas down to a few names, which will be given to the congregation for input and discussion. Make certain you stay connected so that you can give us your thoughts!
- Thanks you all so much for your continued giving to this ministry. You have stepped up in incredible ways over the past weeks, and God is using your efforts in major ways. Beginning THIS WEEK, make any checks payable to Coastal Ministries, Inc., which is our non-profit ministry covering for the church, as well as our future daycare, Deep Creek Productions, etc.
- Many of you have offered assistance with efforts to organize and pack items that we will be moving. Scheduled times and teams will be announced early next week, so it is not too late! If you are willing and able to help, simply send me an email (bowens@famchurch.net) or Facebook note, or leave me a message at the church office.
- We have not finalized where we will be having Sunday services yet. We are looking at every possible alternative, and will choose the one that best meets our needs. Be sure to stay connected as we will announce it as soon as it is finalized! Exciting stuff.
- As Dr. Jim mentioned Sunday, there are several sites we are looking at for a permanent location. We are working through the logistics of each of these now, and as our Administrative Elders look at the options and narrow them down, we will be giving more information. Continue to be in prayer, because we KNOW God is working this out in ways we did not know possible. More to come...
That is all for now. These are exciting times, and I am thrilled to share them with you. Be sure to stay up with our NewThru30 reading plan. We are reading the New Testament in the month of July, and the response has been overwhelming!
Let me know of any questions, comments or ideas... Remember to do YOUR part: pray, give, serve and stay connected!
In Christ,
Pastor Brian
