    Prayers that your church community will come through this change, and be stronger than ever. You know the song

    The church is not a building
    The church is not a steeple
    The church is not a resting place, the church is the people ...

    David, I am the finance Chairperson at my church and believe me, I know how tough these times are for many congregations. In fact, at a congregational dinner on Wednesday night where we were talking about stewardship and makign good use of God's gifts, we sang the very song that Karen quoted, a song that all of our kids remember learning as they grew up in our church. The buildings and programs add to the church, but they are not It's foundation, for sure.
    I will keep your congregation in my prayers.

    Oh David, I'm so sorry. I hope your congregation can stick together. The same thing happened to my in-laws' church.

    Although we may be losing our church building, I believe we have God keeping us in His heart. I don't know what's going to happen, but I think we'll stay as a congregation no matter where the new building or area will be.

    Like Karen said, the church is the people not the building. Even people who are alone are part of God's church and he will still watch over you and keep you close in his heart.

    Prayers are on the way that you can find some place to worship together soon.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
