Forced Renewal... Thanks alot, Lord!

When God moved us into our new building 5 years ago, we had no idea what all he had in store for us. One thing we did know is that our congregation would never be the same. Many of the people in this photo are no longer with the Davenport Church or even in Red Deer anymore. But those of us who are have seen a lot of changes (besides that the building is now finished). But God has only begun with us. We have a whole new generation of young people coming up in our midst and a community around us growing by leaps and bounds that wants to connect meaningfully to God. A renewed effort is being made in our congregation to worship in our assemblies with fresh approaches in order to open ourselves up more than ever before to the Lord to whom we pledge our souls. A team of brothers and sisters whom the Lord has stirred to meet together will be planning worship assemblies by praying and opening our hearts and minds wide to God's Spirit. With what result remains to be seen. Why not be there to jouney with us on Sunday mornings at 10:00am when we gather as a church to worship?! Even better, why not join us at 68 Donlevy Avenue for our worship prayer and planning meetings at 7:00pm Wednesday evenings?! This is not a closed system. This is a group of God's children looking to their heavenly Father for a deeper relationship as a church family. If nothing else, please be praying for us.
More t'wards heaven in 2007,
John Smith
