As of March 1, 2009 this will be our home. There will be a few additions, we will button it up a bit more, put some insulation up and move in our wood stove, chairs and furniture. Yes it does look like we will be "roughing it" for a bit, but there is nothing like home. For many in this congregation, this will not be the first time we have met in an unfinished building. I remember almost 9 years ago, when Christ Community began, we met in the Dunlaps living room for several months. Then we moved to Nathan's shop building, which also was unfinished, not much different than this. We put a lot of work into that building, beautifying it as much as we could, but bearing in mind it wasn't ours and that we would one day move out of it. It has taken longer than I had hoped, but very soon that hope will become a reality. Right now its not much, but the stewardship is entirely ours, the parish family of Christ Community Church. A new chapter in our story is about to begin, a new day is dawning.
