“I am going home, I’ve done my time and I got to know what is and isn’t mine” –Tony Orlando
We are so excited to be returning home today. I couldn’t resist showing off a little of my 70’s song knowledge. When you live in a small town in Wisconsin, all you have to do is drive around in your Gremlin and listen to AM pop radio. However, the line from the song does a good job explaining the emotion and thoughts of people
We are extremely grateful for all your prayers, support and encouragement.
A huge shout out to the churches and ministries that went above and beyond the call of duty in hosting and caring for us. They are:
· Mountain Brook Community Church
· Shades Valley Community Church
· Cross Bridge Church
· Double Oak Community Church
· Coventry Community Church
· MedMission
· Mission Birmingham
· Birmingham Baptist Association
We are anticipating a our worship time together Sunday as we begin to bring our entire Castle Rock body together. Our eyes are still on our calling to create “A Neighborhood Where Kids Can Ride Their Bikes” We are still totally committed to sharing God’s Love and Salvation with our city. Our resolve is strong. We will be strong and courageous… “for the Lord your God will be with you [us] wherever we go!”
Prayer Requests:
Praise God:
· For all he has done for us.
· For all the churches and ministries in Birmingham and across the nation who have prayed for and helped us.
· That we are going home!
