Get Ready to Walk!

Get Ready to Walk!

               It is amazing how good news travels fast!  A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting at Cosby High School with a group of seniors as we were planning out the upcoming Baccalaureate Service.  We were just having casual conversation when one of them (who doesn’t attend our church) asked me; “Aren’t you guys the ones who are doing that walk thing?”

            Today, I stopped to visit with our UPS driver in our neighborhood.  She told me that she and her family would be there to join us for the walk this weekend.  And of course, those conversations have been repeated multiple times in the last couple of weeks.  Several of our members who have since moved have said they are going to be here to join us!

            It is hard to believe that it is finally here.  For the last several weeks, we have been working out of our new Hampton Park building, and even though we have had to walk underneath ladders, and walk around carpet layers and other workers, we are just about there!  And, it is beautiful.  I am so excited to gather for the first time in our new spaces to worship and celebrate the incredible God who has brought us here after such a long journey.

            You have heard the basic information.  We will start at Woodlake at 10:00, and by 10:15, we will be walking.  Police and volunteers, and EMS will be there along the way to assist us.  You are welcome to join the walk at Cosby High School if you would like, and you can park there.  We will finish at our soccer field at Hampton Park with hot dogs and fellowship.  We will conclude the walk and worship at Hampton Park at 11:30, and after the service, we will adjourn to our new front yard and sidewalk for a photo.  You can park at Woodlake or Hampton Park and shuttles will be going back and forth. 

            But most of all, I hope and pray you will join me in this walk thanking our God who has been so good to us and who has brought us to this very good land.  See you there!

In Christ,

Pastor Pete
