Building Phase II
Prayers in the Ground, on the Floors, on the Walls, in the Rafters
We have been watching the building of St. Andrew transform and are able to no longer visualize but actually see the changes of the new and old building become a reality. The Prayer Committee continues to hold monthly prayer gatherings to remind us and those involved with the process that we continue to pray for them, our church and those working on the construction. Every month we pray for continued safety, community outreach, and love that will fill our church not only as a building but also as the body of Christ.
On July 10 we placed a box filled with prayers in the rafters directly above the chancel area. Many handwritten prayers were for continued faith, steadfastness and love, and for the constant guidance that God will lead St. Andrew and its members to share the word of God and be the hands and heart of Jesus.
We only have a few more months before the building will be complete and we move into our expanded ministry and worship areas. Please join us on the second Saturday of each month - August 14, 9:00 am, for a short 30 minute gathering of scripture, song, and prayer. The bonus part is that we will be allowed to tour the areas that aren’t accessible to anyone other than the construction crews.
If you are unable to attend these gatherings, please add your prayers to the prayer box located at Base Camp. Your prayer will be written on the building structure for you.
