And...things change...

The church doesn't look like this to much, right now. And not just because it has knee deep snow on top, and all around it! It has been painted...same color, but looks fresh! The white has been re-painted, also. We have a new copper steeple...thank you Mr. Wood! And, there has been a lot of clean up of the grounds. The inside has been gone through...new paint, new curtains and drapes, remolded bathrooms, a food room for donations has been set up, the office and cry-room got a face lift and the up-stairs has been organized.

But, those aren't the changes I'm talking about. Not to long ago, we, the board, the congregation, were told we may have to close the doors of the church and call it quits. Of course, a few of us "die-hards" held on, even when we were told it was no use. But, it's GOD's church, and He decides when and if the doors close. With lots of prayers, our Lord has guided us through a very tough time. A Pastor wrote a very profound statement in an e-mail to me - "If at all possible, keep the church doors open. If just one person walks through those doors and finds Salvation, it will be worth it!." And then, he put us in touch with Pastor Cherry and his family.

Well, a year later, we still have the doors open and GOD continues to Bless us! I am always in AWE as to how GOD works in our lives! His Grace is truly amazing!! I'm excited to see where GOD takes the Church in the Wildwood a year from now!
