What a great achievement... the day I returned from India, we received our certificate of occupancy in the afternoon. This meant that we could officially meet there.
God truly helped us at so many stages of this process. For example, we had to pave the parking lot before the weather turned bad. As soon as we paved, it snowed the first and huge storm, and has not stopped snowing since!
We had a glorious celebration that Sunday, with many new people present. The building looks so big, and the stage seems so high and far away from the people! It will take some time to get used to. But it has a good spiritual feel to it. Last week I was praying in it alone several days, and God was very present then. For those who don't know, our new property holds the marl pits (in the rear) which Marlboro is named after and which caused it to grow (ask me about the spiritual significance of this).
We certainly needed more room to grow. Now we have enough parking for a while too, and no one has to walk across the street! The challenge for us is to work and exercise our faith so that God can fill this building also.
Thanks for all your prayer and hard work which made this possible. I am so proud of our church and how we came together as a team to build this, with God's help.
