“If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

That’s what mom always said… And for the past few months, there hasn’t been much in the nice category for our building search.

• The door has closed on the opportunity to lease the space behind Hastings.
• We got pretty far in the negotiation process for another space, but that door closed too.
• We’ve visited a few other buildings with our architect and… various door-closing factors popped up.
• We’re currently evaluating and researching two locations, and we hear the distinct sound of a creaking door. Door opening or closing? The direction of door movement remains to be seen.

But it hasn’t been all bad news! Your commitment to this process has remained steadfast.

• You continue to pray for our MOVE! God really does know where we’ll have church next. This process may have outlasted our expectations, but not His.
• You continue to share the word with your friends! More and more people know we’re moving and let us know about vacant space.
• You continue to give. We have raised almost $86,000!
• You continue to think of creative ways to help:
  • The few LifeGroups got together to host a Yard Sale and raised nearly $900.
  • Jim donated a handcrafted coaster car that we’re currently raffling. You can get a closer look at the car & buy raffle tickets on Sundays at the Vineyard!
  • Darold is taking pledges & is running 5k & 10k races to raise money for our MOVE and The Box.

So… great job! Please keep praying, sharing and giving. We believe that as we pray and seek God, He will reveal his wisdom to us. And keep sharing the story. The more people that know about this, the better. You never know who will want to get involved or who will know about our next building. And keep giving. The more money we raise, the more options we’ll have. Thanks.
