Pastor's Chat

From the desk of

Pastor Paul

 

This isn’t the first time I have carried something in my spirit until the time

came to give birth. And once again, I can feel it - my spiritual womb is full to overflowing!


I remember my first night in Buffalo, July 2014. Driving past the property at 148 Cemetery Road - what we now call the Cemetery Creek property - I didn’t think much of it at first. We were on our way to our very first “meet and greet” with people from a church called Grace Fellowship. That night we met Miles and Julie Bennett, Carl and Sandy Danielson, Marjorie Mantle, and Carol Herman. Looking back, I thank God for the divine connections forged that evening.


But on that drive, as we passed 148 Cemetery Road, something stirred. I casually remarked to my wife, “Wouldn’t that be an awesome location for a church?” She agreed without hesitation. Little did I know I had just spoken prophetically.


Fast forward nine years—Grace Fellowship now owns that 10-acre property, free and clear. Eleven years later, I find myself walking that land daily, sensing the contractions of something God has planted in me—a vision that is ready to be delivered.


Most of you have seen the drawings. Many have admired the model. But few have seen what I see in the Spirit—the future God has burned into my heart. Just recently, the Lord whispered to me, “It’s time. Walk the property with your friends and let them see what I have shown you.”

So, I’m inviting you—if you’re willing to trek through some tall grass, to come and walk with me. Let me show you what heaven has already declared over this land. It will be a 20-to-30-minute walk, so I can try to help you see what is conceived in my spirit.


Meet me at the Cemetery Creek property, soon to be the Grace Fellowship Campus,

right after church this Sunday at 11 AM.


This is more than a walk - it’s a step into a promise.

Building Update

The engineers have staked out the locations for the new utilities, and work will commence within a couple of weeks, though some workers are currently occupied with the Main Street project. We were informed this week that the steel will be delivered in the first week of October.


Following this, the building shell can be erected and set in place in about 4 to 5 weeks. By Thanksgiving, we could witness our new building taking shape on the property!


Join our One Miracle at a Time, One Square Foot at a Time campaign by filling out a pledge card.


 Don't forget to track our progress on the square footage grid in the foyer at Grace.
