Long Awaited and Worth the Wait!!!!
It's been a long time coming. On the drawing board since we moved into our Worship Building in June of 2000, it has finally arrived. Our first permanent Baptistry at our Pines campus in our 16 year history began to be dug this morning. This is not just a Baptistry but will be a beautiful fountain, and courtyard throughout the week. It's practical, yet beautiful. Those on our Pines campus will see a BIG hole right under the steeple tower when you come to Worship this coming weekend, and weeknight.
I've never seen such beautiful dirt. For years there have been delays and set-backs. The last one was our hurricane Wilma almost 3 years ago. Just finishing our 1/2 Million Dollars in repairs a few months ago, we are now able to focus on this awesome project.
The money has been in the bank for several years now, thanks to the hundreds of families who gave to our 2nd Chapter Offerings in 2005-2006. Along with the Ffnishing of our KidsWorld classes, preparing for our 7NOW, the Fountain and Baptistry are the result of your generous giving. We thank each of you for making it happen. Our goal is to have the Fountain, Baptistry, and courtyard finished in order to begin Baptizing by the end of the Summer. Am I excited or What???? You bet I am!!!!!
I'm so sorry that I'm missing this long awaited project.
