We have started 2006 at Messiah Baptist Fellowship and this month could be a monumental month for us. If everything continues to progress as expected, this could be our last month at our current location. Our anticipated closing date on the property on Robins Avenue is February 1, 2006. It is exciting to see God's direction and provision and we look forward to finishing well at the South Salisbury Plaza and starting well over on Robins Avenue.
The month of January has a number of events that are coming up that everyone should mark on their calendar (note to self: add these things to the church web-site calendar as well).
January 8 - Special Building Fund Offering - since I am writing this post after the event, I can report that God's people have given generously and (counting the previous building fund amount) we reached our goal for this offering - exactly.
January 15 - Celebration of the Lord's Supper - as part of our evening service on this night.
January 22 - Annual Church Business Meeting after the evening service.
January 29 - Special Final Luncheon - lunch after the morning service and then an early afternoon service as our final Sunday (D.V.) in our current location. (UPDATE: We have moved this fellowship lunch to the first February 5 instead (which should be the first Sunday in the new building).
I hope that if you have not been out in awhile that you will take the time to visit us this month. God is doing great things here at Messiah and we would love for you to come and take part.
In Christ,
Pastor Frank Sansone
