Light the lamps, prepare the room, God is coming to us!

​BENEDICTION
May the God of Light and Hope, in whom there is no darkness,
cause your light to shine in you and through you to others,
that they may know of Jesus and of God's Love.
May you witness to the gift of Jesus,
who came and taught us how to live as children of Light.
Go in peace and know that the God of light, hope, peace, and joy goes with you.
 
We go to follow Christ.

The new Danner Garden and Courtyard is coming along, too. When completed it will be a place where people can pray, meditate, have outdoor services, and be in God’s presence. There will be some brick paved areas, along with plants and shrubs. The pavers are the ones from the “Pathway to Life” that ran between the church and the ATTIC Youth House. There is room for more engraved pavers in memory of honor of loved ones. If you are interested in placing one there, please contact the church office.
  
Thanks to the contributions of many people, the port-cochere for the front of the church is well underway! It will not only define the front of the church, but will provide a beautiful and welcoming front for the facility. The sidewalks and parking areas are being constructed now, so everyone is asked to park in the Rutledge Avenue parking lot and to enter the sanctuary through the narthex doors on that side for the next couple of weeks.
