Friday, August 31, 2007
Well, if you are like me you are probably asking how in the world did Labor Day get here so fast this year? This summer has FLOWN by and there is so much that has happened and so much to celebrate! My prayer is that each of you is able to really enjoy your family and friends this weekend and celebrate the goodness of God and the life He gives us, while also.....getting some REST (it is Labor Day afterall)!!!!
Here are quick updates for you on things we are celebrating and things we are still praying for:
Top 5 Updates:
1) Holland Central has agreed to partner with us for the coming year and we are so excited to share this journey with such an incredible church that has a real heart for the Benton Harbor/St. Joseph region!
2) We have signed the contract with the Orchards mall this past week and will have
the 800 square foot ministry space/office available for set-up in Sept and opening as completed.
3) We start Bible studies in the mall on Wed, Sept 5th and will be meeting Sundays at 4pm and Weds at 7pm and I will be beginning a men's breakfast group Thur, Sept 6th.
4) God has continued to supply for Overflow's budget and needs an incredible ways as more support and resources have continued to come in...our God is able and we continue to prayerfully trust Him to provide the remaining 30% of our budget need for this upcoming year.
