PASTOR'S PEN
From the desk of Pastor Paul
The Lord has given me fairly specific instructions to study the book of Nehemiah in my personal time. After reading chapter 6, I understand why—because it reveals the enemy’s plot in Nehemiah’s day and explains my last three weeks. God, You are so good.
In Nehemiah 6:9, the enemy’s strategy was to discourage the people by magnifying the enormity of the task. So Nehemiah prayed, “Lord, strengthen our hands.” The enemy still tries to frighten us with tasks bigger than we can imagine. Yet the result was that the monumental work was completed, and all the surrounding nations “recognized that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God” (6:16).
Some say it shouldn’t be done.
Some say it can’t be done.
But God says, “With My help, it must be done—for My glory.”
Let faith arise!

Legacy-Level Plumbing
Did you know that when a new family chooses a church, sociologists say the decision is often influenced by the woman of the house? The cleanliness of the nursery and children’s ministry spaces, how the other women in the church are dressed (yikes!), and yes—even the condition of the women’s restroom. Are you kidding me? It may feel subjective… but it’s true.
It may not be the most glamorous part of the building, but it is one of the most practical. And ministry happens in the margins—before and after services, in hallways, and in small conversations. Families stay longer when spaces are comfortable. Guests feel welcomed when every detail has been prepared with care. Even bathrooms preach hospitality.
And with the good weather we’ve been blessed with, the bathroom plumbing is officially
in!
Here’s the good news: these bathrooms are not just for Phase 1. They’re large enough to serve Phase 2 when the added space comes. What we build now carries us forward. We’re not just installing sinks and stalls—we’re laying groundwork for growth.
Imagine it: children laughing in the hallway, people with coffee in hand, lives being changed in the worship space (which we will name soon), and quietly in the background, two fully funded, fully finished bathrooms serving hundreds for years to come. That’s legacy-level plumbing.
So, let’s finish this baby step strong. Let’s turn 300 little squares into one big testimony. If everyone takes a square—or several—we’ll cross the finish line together.
We have a long way to go, funds to raise, prayers to pray—but in answer to your prayers, the new Grace building is going up fast, fast. Every step matters, and this baby step just happens to flush.
Help Us Reach 300 Squares by Resurrection Sunday!
Resurrection Sunday is April 5, 2026. That gives us one month to fully fund these bathrooms.
Would you take one square? Or several?
If 300 squares are claimed by April 5, we will celebrate more than plumbing—we will celebrate a church family building a foundation for generations to come.
👷♂️ Claim your bathroom square today and help us cross the finish line together. 🔨
