Under Construction

Our MYF room is currently under construction!!!!!We are in the process of giving it a makeover. So far, we've painted the walls. The next step was THIS...look at picture below!

The newest addition to our room is the stage that was created and built by Jesse, one of our MYF sponsors! Isn't this awesome? He did this all in one evening. Thanks for taking the time to do this for us, Jesse.

Now we are going to tear up the carpet and get new flooring. We are looking into lament that looks like wood. We're also considering a small area for carpet.

A big thank you to those who have given towards this project. The teens deserve this and they are really looking forward to the finished project.

Random Shots Of This Past Wednesday

The Will Of God

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, 

but merely opening your hands to receive something better. 

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Updating
