Building Progress and Other Good News

I have good news to report.

First, my daughter Kassi is back from Costa Rica. She was in the Study Abroard program and spent more than 3 1/2 months there. She did an incredible amount of stuff and had the experience of a life time.

Second, MAPS RVers has accepted our project. The RVers are a ministry of retired folks who travel around the country in Recreational Vehicles helping Assemblies of God church build new buildings. They work for a $1 an hour and help save churches a ton of money. They also get involved with ministry of the church as well.

Third, our building permits have been issued. They approved everything without trouble. We are ready to begin building. We are waiting on one more thing, and that is for the Troy fire marshal to approve the building without sprinklers.

Fourth, our new Youth and Children's Pastor started last Sunday, May 11th. He is doing well and we are excited about the ministry he is going to be doing and leading.

Fifth, our new website is coming together extremely well. You can check it out at: http://www.lwcedw.org/. We are trying to load it up with all the bells and whistles. Explore the sight and you will find all sorts of fun, interesting, and exciting stuff. It won't be long and we will connected to Christian Book Distributors. You will be able to go through our website to buy all your Christian books and music needs and the church will receive 10% of everything you spend. Thank you CBD!

Also, our paypal account is up and running so that you can make a donation or give your tithes online. In a week or so they will train us so that we can take over the management of the site. Then we will be able load up much of the missing information and keep it updated daily.

That's all for now. I hope to see you in church this Sunday.

God Bless you bigtime! Pastor Tim
