Forward Update 12/12/25

Thank you all for the wonderful response two weeks ago as well as your prayer support for our project! We had a great meeting with Aspen yesterday, so here are a few updated prayer requests to add to your list ...

1. Continued safety for all of the workers who come each day.
2. Yesterday our site superintendent, Ken, remarked "You all have been great witnesses for Christ toward our team."
3. We're now at the point when key materials, equipment, and other things are being ordered - pray that they arrive quickly, cheaply, and undamaged.
4. Like the demo work done in November, we'll have some more projects (painting and removing carpet) to be done by our volunteer teams in January - pray for willing servants to help when we need them.
5. We continue to explore challenges with our fire suppression system - pray for wisdom and clarity as we make decisions and solve problems.
6. City Council meeting on 12/16 - pray that there would be no concerns raised and our permits will all be approved.
7. This Sunday we'll be revealing our updated FORWARD Commitments number - give thanks for the generosity of our congregation.
8. Next Thursday Council will meet to discern how we might spend some of the additional money expected to come from FORWARD commitments - pray for wisdom and good stewardship.

We appreciate your prayer support!
