By being part of the Stage 3 program, whether that is by joining in a working bee, including the program in your regular prayers, joining the planned giving program, getting involved in organising a fund raiser or one of many other ways, you can join the team helping to “see lives change” by God’s love in all of these ways. Progress to date It has been very exciting to see all of the activity in our building site. We now have completed (or nearly completed ?) our new toilet block, the auditorium stage and backstage areas, our parents zone including cry room, a new hall store room and the two children’s ministry rooms upstairs. The renovation of our kitchen is also underway. To finish the first half of the Stage 3 building program we will complete the kitchen, open up our new foyer/café and build the café/playground area and renovate the downstairs children’s ministry room completing the security of the children’s ministry area. This work is scheduled to be completed early in the New Year. The next Phase While it has been fantastic to see God’s vision and His provision for us so far, at this point in the project, and even once the kitchen and café are complete, our building will feel like things are only “half done”. God gave us a complete vision and it has not been fulfilled yet. We must continue to pray faithfully for the completion of this vision. Our journey so far has been one of faithfully following God’s leading. The journey to come will continue to require great faith. God has given us a vision that is too big for us to imagine on our own. This means that when it does come to fulfilment we will know that it is only by His bountiful provision that we have been blessed.
