Today we held our first official Pray and Walk opportunities up on the new site. The first was at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. Their were six of us. I shared the Psalm reading from this weeks Lectionary Readings: Psalm 107: 1 - 9. As we walked through the upper parking lot we stopped to answer questions and pray. We focused our prayers on the need at this new site for a “Parking Lot Ministry”. This would be a call to those who enjoy providing hospitality through helping to park cars and shuttle folks to the front door. A prayer for those who would be willing to help raise funds to buy golf carts to enable the shuttles and those who would be the first line of welcoming to our new home.

After we finished most stayed and continued on with their usual Wednesday morning Bible Study around tables set up in the parking lot.

In the evening at 6:00 p.m. we held our second Pray & Walk with 4 people showing up. Since the construction workers had all gone home we were able to walk through the lower part of the actual building to stop and pray in various sections as we toured. Two of the walkers braved climbing the dirt hill for the best view of the site.

Tonight Trustees met up on the site and took a tour of the new facilities under construction. As we ended our time together we were privileged to enjoy God’s creation all around us as particularly exemplified by this beautiful sunset across our new front lawn.

This morning the Core Ministry Staff had their first Staff meeting since June. Afterwards they went to Old Ellicott City for a Staff Luncheon to celebrate the July Birthdays of John Nupp and D. C. Veale. On the way back to the office John, Al, D.C., & Debbie took a little detour to check out the new diggs.

Here D.C. and Debbie size up D. C.’s future office. Clean as you will probably ever see it again.
