The project is on the move again! On 150 you can see our excavators beginning to work on what will become the concrete foundation of the new church. We’ll continue to keep you posted week by week as new improvements to the site begin. As we take a look at the physical foundation of the church, it is a good time to remember our spiritual foundation:
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. –1 Corinthians 3:10-11—
May all of the work of our church stand on the foundation of Christ which we will celebrate this Easter season! For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son for us. May everything we do come from thanksgiving and worship of God, and move from that place outward in Christ like love of neighbor. We ask for your prayers for the workers as the begin the portions of the building project that can be done during this time of social distancing. We will wait with patience for anything that might need to pause until the concerns about Coronavirus have lessened. May God be with you in your homes, to keep you safe, to bring you peace, and to bless our community with health. May God be with our nation through a spirit of unity and peace, through inspired scientific research, compassionate care, and wise leadership.
If you have not yet joined us for worship our services are all online at www.downsumc.org We look forward to the day we can gather together again, but until then we are united in the spirit and together in heart. We’ll keep you updated with the portions of the project that can be worked on. We have much to be thankful for, and much to look forward to.
