Just last night the pumpkins arrived to fill our “Pumpkin Patch” This weekend our “Harvest Fair” will open its doors to the community and beyond. And the next few weeks will have us packing and preparing to make our move to Northwest Boulevard. The fall season in the church can be wonderfully chaotic. However, it is my prayer that we will be intentional in slowing down enough to recognize and participate in two momentous events that will impact God’s ministry here at Grace for years to come: our “Living the Vision” campaign, and the transition to our new campus. These next few weeks, we will each be asked and challenged to prayerfully consider “what does God want to do through me” as we seek to make plans for 2012 and pay down our existing debt, in order to move forward with life-changing ministries. Many times we see these efforts as a financial drive. But finances are just one part of a holistic covenant of prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness that we make in becoming a part of this body of faith. Our transition from Leopard Street to Northwest Boulevard will be an extensive endeavor that will invite us to live out the “characteristics of our faith” or “fruit of the Spirit” as a witness and foundation to who we are and what God calls us to be. [love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)] I, personally, am very excited to journey with each of you through the next few months. It will be a glorious and once-in-a-life-time event. Included in this newsletter are some important dates and information about the logistics of relocating. It’s our hope and intention that you are provided with as much information as you need to prepare for the move. It is also my hope that each of us are spending time in prayer, allowing God to make our hearts ready; not just to participate, but to live into the vision God has for Grace.
