Our First Meeting and other news.

Hello Family & Friends,

We had our first meeting this morning March 1st. It was very fitting I think for our first meeting to start on the first day of the month and it snowed! How awesome is God! Jamie and I got to lead worship and we did four songs:

1) Your Love is Extravagant
2) Inside Out
3) Mighty to Save
4) Breathe

Malcolm, is not only our pastor, but plays guitar too, and he played for us while we sang. We hope to find someone to replace him so he doesn't have to think about playing, and can focus on all the wonderful messages the Lord is giving him.

The message today was wonderful. Malcolm talked on Phillipians 2:1-11. We were challenged to be humble, and in being humble then the Lord will exalt you. He also challenged us with being deep-spirited friends. For me, I know that I am still trying to work through all that that means, but I am excited about it.

For today we met in Malcolm and Amy's clubhouse. We had about 15-18 people there and I think almost as many kids! It was loud and loads of fun.

On Saturday Feb 28th, we all walked through a space that we are hoping we can get. It is about 3,000 sq ft and already built out. It has a lobby, two really nice bathrooms, a small kitchenette; perfect for our coffee bar, two what used to be office spaces, but we would use them for classrooms, then it has a big unfinished area that we would use for our sanctuary. We will need to get chairs, a sound system, and a projector. We all have faith that God will provide for His church, but we still covet your prayers.

The location of the space is right down the street from some places where we can go and be the hands and feet of God. right now we don't know what the community needs, but we would like to have a food pantry, clothes closet, grocery gift cards, and then anything else that people might need.

Sooo, we do need your prayers. We need a building, we need chairs, we need a sound system, we need some muscians. For Jamie and I personally, we need prayer of covering, prayer for our finances, and prayer for direction on housing.

Thank you for all of you who are keeping up with us. We would love to hear from you through comments, e-mails or phone calls. We hope that these posts are encouraging and uplifting. We hope that they touch your heart and show you that there is no greater thing than being in obediance to God. It is unbelievable what He can do with willing hearts, hands and feet. Much love to all of you.

Love,
Jamie, Emily, Tate and Tristen Virklerhttp://www.lifebiblechurch.com/
