Ash Wednesday in our New Home

You can see from the photo that progress is taking place. We now have a door, temporary lighting, and will have insulation in probably this week. We will have creek rock brought in for our parking area in the coming week as well. The light colored panels you see, are translucent sky light panels over our windows.

We will bid fare well to our old location on Sunday, February 22. Our first official gathering will be for our pancake supper on Shrove Tuesday, and our first Eucharist will be Ash Wednesday at 7:00 PM. You are invited to come and be a part of the new day that is dawning for Christ Community Church, the ancient faith, for this generation. For more information and directions to Christ Community's new location please call Fr. Bob Lemmon at (606) 787-6319

Ready or Not Here We Come!

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.

Can You See It Yet?

It has a floor, walls and a roof now, but we are along way from the finish line. With just a little imagination though you can see the first half completed. We are grateful to God, and all the volunteers who helped in this endeavor. It is incredible that we were able to get this much done before the rains began. For now, we continue to do the work that He has given us to do, and believe that He who began this good work will bring it to completion.
