We have had different landlords as the building changed owners a few times. (It was actually a gym owned by the church next to us - who went through several pastors - before it was sold to the current owner.) All have been very good to us and we are grateful to God for watching over us during each transition. Though the 'gym turned sanctuary' has been for sale again for a few years, it was beyond what we could afford. God has been gracious to lead us to a church building around the corner which is affordable and meets our needs. We are grateful. We still await the occupancy permit that is supposed to come this week as the month ends. Our landlord has said we could stay and use it this Sunday if we need to, but we have already moved everything.
Below are some pictures of our members at work.

| See the steeple in the far distance? That is our new church! Wow! Look at our trash! |
Awe! So many memories in that place. :)
