But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 |

PRAISE POINTS
We have seen and felt a shift of unity and joy in our church family. Where there was once deep grief from years of loss, the essence of spring is breaking back in. There is excitement for new missions and gratitude for the provision God has brought! It has been wonderful to see God moving to create small groups, committees, and projects where people can be heard and participate.
In November, we got to celebrate seven baptisms, including some of our youth.
God is starting to open up opportunities for us to partner with other organizations and churches in our area. Friendships are forming, as well as ministry opportunities. |
PRAYER POINTS
We are planning to break ground on a new building as an addition to our church. This will provide classrooms, offices, and updated bathrooms for us to better serve our present family, future family, and the community.
We are in need of a children's pastor/leader and worship band members—two roles that would greatly help our desire to grow!
We are setting up an official website. Please pray for us to have a solid vision and to depict that well to the public.
-
We want to see our congregants comfortable asking for what they want and need—to step out of their shell to help and start new things, to assist what is in motion, and for all of us to have the humility to learn what is unknown. As leadership is building, pray that true discipleship would flourish, and that God's active work would be on display and praised.
-
One of our leaders has a spouse who needs prayer to come back to the Lord. Their family is amazing and called to great things.
