St Matthew Gathers at the New Building

February 17, 2008

On 2/17/08 members of St Matthew gathered at 2:00 PM at the new building to see the construction progress so far, and to consecrate the building by writing Bible verses, blessings, and prayers on the exposed studs, columns, and beams. We know that these things will all be covered by the drywall and paint as construction continues, but the Lord will know they are there, and so will we.

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Pastor Cusson characterized this verse as the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a nutshell in his sermon on 2/17/08, so it seems appropriate to start this record of our activities on this day with this verse from God's Word.
