Looking back ... stepping forward ...


The two pictures here are from the 12th of February ... as our building burned.

I finally got a roll of film developed and was shocked at the photos I took ... the images on the roll had been forgotten in the rush the day of the fire ...

One image is of the church as the fire was consuming the interior, one is the last flames consuming the roof of the 1997 addition, and a third, I'll add tomorrow is of the debris field that was left in the stone foundation that afternoon.

They are hard images to look at ... but they are good images to look at this week as we begin to take a significant step forward on our journey of Resurrection.

On Sunday morning following our worship service, the Board met to approve the formation of our Building committee that will begin the process and the journey that WILL lead us to the development and creation of a new Church Building. The journey will not be short, and it likely won't be easy - but we WILL get there ... and we have some good people to guide us along the way.

It is hard to believe that it has only been 6 weeks since the fire ... in many ways it seems much, much longer, and in other ways it seems much shorter ... such are the vagaries of our journey ...

But, oh what a journey it has been !!
