I have never been a big basketball fan. I was just plain to short, and too slow; so I never excelled in basketball. But I love watching the fast-paced action, especially a full-court press. Nothing is more exciting than a well designed full-court press.
Right now our church is pressing on! Last fall we did “pause” in our Expansion effort. We did not stop, we just paused. Since our pause, both interest rates and building costs have dropped significantly. We also reduced the total square footage of our new building to 28,000 feet. All of that happened as the financial support for our new building continued to come in on a steady basis. There were two $1 for $1 matching gift offers, both of which are being fully taken advantage of. We are pressing on! We are, as the Hebrew writer urged, “running with endurance the race that is set before us” (12:1).
The next step is our ground-breaking ceremony on Sunday, August 30th at 2:00 PM, immediately after our picnic in the park. Meet at 500 Pitman Road for the celebration. We are pressing on.
Exciting days,
Dan
