I am very encouraged. This has been a special week. We shut down the normal office functions this week to be able to make the move to the new facility and get ready for the dedication this Sunday. We have been blessed by wonderful people who have worked very hard this week helping out staff get ready. Our staff has worked like Trojans! There seems to a great sense of awe and gratitude as it begins to sink in what God has given us. Even those of us who work in the office are not immune to the sense of awe. We are seeing a dream become reality before our eyes.

This Sunday will be special. Rather than preaching a sermon, we are going to live one together. I am taking 1Kings 8 that tells of Solomon’s dedication of the Temple and using that as a template for everything we do Sunday morning. Together, we are going to dedicate this new campus addition to the glory of God.

There will be no adult or youth classes Sunday, but all three services will be at their normal times – 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00am. Each service will be led by their normal praise team, but the rest of the service will be the same in all three services.

My normal rhythm has been totally interrupted this week. Every so often I feel the urge to get up, go out into the new area and just see what is happening. I have been amazed how things change after just a few hours. People are rushing around like ants, and each time I poke my head in, more and more things are falling into place. I can’t wait for Sunday!
