A sad day for our church

[chocolatepuppy]

Many prayers that your church can pull through this David.

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.

My prayers are with you and your church! I wish I could do more...

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

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh no, that is so sad...! But I am sure that you and your congregation will find a way

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.
