Marilyn:

QuoteJane or Nita are you going to "Curves".

Nope ... it's "Inch Bye Inch"!   

JUDY Mc~As our regional superintendent said in a letter read to us on May 2: "We understand that every church has a life cycle.  This church has had seasons of great fruitfulness and time of extraordinary difficulty.  The question ultimately before us was whether the ministry of this church had been fulfilled.  After prayerfully considering all the things before us we concluded that the church had fulfilled its ministry and that it was time to close the church."  There were many factors that went into this decision and we (the church advisory council) and the district and regional officials) had many discussions over a period of a few months. 

People have begun finding other fellowships in the area.  Some of us still have not managed that.  It is not easy.  As you know, our Pastor Bev died in September.  We are still grieving her death and now we grieve the death of this church. 

The building will be sold ... all usable furnishings and properties have been moved to Eugene (Church Headquarters).  These furnishings and the proceeds from the sale of the building will be used to help other churches.  In the death of one church new life will spring forth for many others.  God will be glorified!

It was good to see Shawn posting today.  Shawn, I don't know of the book you are speaking of.  I wonder if anyone else has any knowledge of it.

Now, it's time to lock the door for another night and hopefully, we'll see many more folks posting here tomorrow.

If you have missed some of our "regulars" or even some who haven't been regular at all, how about dropping them a PM and letting them know that they've been missed.

Now, here's a link to our new topic for tomorrow's date...
