Life has swept us onward down the river of planned actions and ministry. I have posted the details of the recent Role Models of America Tea on its site. I know you will want to see all of the fun things that happened - plus get ideas for maybe an event of your own someday. So here is the site to go see! www.rolemodelsofamerica.com Just look under recent posts to see the most recent articles and photos.
Meanwhile on our way to a little western town named Spur, we stopped to check on Pastor James and Carol Ann Merideth's new Community Center. Remember this past summer they came to our Foundation and received lots of building materials to help them finish this most valuable building for their church? Well it's virtually complete now!
The gym is so very nice!
Many conversations have been had along the way giving guidance, support and prayers about this building project. How to deal with the 'city', how to meet building and zoning issues, legal regulation requirements and also how to raise funds to build it, how to keep everybody motivated to build, how to.... how to.... The Bishops' experience has been invaluable to this good Pastor through this whole process.
These sinks and faucets sure look good here in place!
And lights in every place brings smiles as we all remember picking them out in the warehouses.
Lots of new spaces to dream up programs and uses for them, makes every pastor happy!
We admire every detail as we can appreciate all the hard work it takes to build!
The 'Walk of Recognition' will be done here in bricks with the names of all those that have supported to build the Community Center. We will be listed here!
I am so proud for them - and as only preacher's wives can understand the toll it takes on our families to go through a building project from the ground up - I am relieved for Carol Ann and James that it's OVER! The hundreds of missed meals, sleepless nights, stressful work days, the warring hours of wrestled opinions of the 'flock' and not to mention the money monsters to be conquered. HALLELUJAH THANK GOD ALMIGHTY IT'S FINISHED!
