We are Getting Close!!!!!!!!! Update #8

The Baptistry is inching closer to the Finish Line. As with anything, there are delays. For the first month, it was everything ahead of our schedule. The past week it has been a different set-back every day. I am so glad we gave ourselves some breathing room until our First Baptism, which by the way is Sunday, September 7th and every night during 7NOW services. You will hear much more about this in the next couple weeks.

Yesterday the pavers were begun, after several delays. Then a pipe in our sprinklers broke and washed out some area. So today the pipe is repaired, tomorrow the paver team comes back to complete their work!! (Hopefully!!) Then Friday the landscape will be begun to be put in. We are about 5 days behind schedule but hope it will now pick up. Pray for all the contractors and persons involved that they will stay on their areas and it will be complete by next week. That is the plan. The pool company continues to tweak different  small problems with the Pool/Baptistry area.

Thanks again for all those who have given generously to see this project done. Just in time for our "True Values" Series this month. Mission is one of our values, and the Baptistry is a huge symbol of a Church accomplishing the Mission Christ has put us here.  I AM PRAYING FOR 100 NEW BELIEVERS BAPTIZED IN OUR FIRST WEEK OF THE NEW BAPTISMAL. WE HAVE SEVERAL HUNDRED IN OUR CHURCH WHO HAVE NOT BEEN BAPTIZED, BUT YET HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR. NOW PRAY THEY WILL TAKE THEIR FIRST STEP TO MAKING HIM THEIR LORD.
