A Very Good Meeting

I am very pleased to announce that today, November 7, 2010, the members of our congregation voted in favor of the motion to purchase the property at 128 West Street in Wilmington, to be developed as our new campus. This is an incredible milestone - marking the completion of one phase of work and the beginning of something new! With this important decision behind us, it is now time to turn our attention to readying ourselves and this building for the ministry ahead.

I look forward with great anticipation to the work ahead! Meeting details and the latest information and updates on the progress on our new campus development will be available online at the new campus webpage www.grace.org/newcampus.

Vote on Sunday!

These are exciting and momentous days in the life of our church! As we prepare to vote on the purchase of the property at 128 West St, Wilmington, I find myself feeling as if we are tangibly stepping into a vision that God has placed on our hearts for some time now. The realization that God has led us to this moment is both gratifying and humbling. We have a God who can do so much more than we can ask or imagine!

As Sunday approaches, I a reminded of our urgent responsibility to be fervently prayerful. And there is still much to pray about!

Please pray:

· That God would be glorified as we look to Him for confidence, faith, and wisdom.
· That our church would be strengthened by our vision to extend the reach of the gospel.
· That our love for each other will be evident through the process of making this decision.
· That each one of us would be ready to give of ourselves in the days ahead for the sake of the kingdom.

The vote will be held immediately after the 11:00 service, and there will be childcare available through for kids 0-preK. The meeting is primarily for voting purposes, so we expect that we will be voting shortly after the meeting is called to order. Remember, only members are able to cast a vote.

Thanks for your prayers, and I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

Tom
