Since moving to PA about 8 years ago, we've been meeting with a few other families every Sunday in a rented storefront to very simply remember the Lord in the way he instructed. (1 Corinthians 11: 23-26)
And we've tried to permeate the community with God's word, by making and giving away thousands and thousands of fridge magnets, wall hangings, etc. featuring Bible verses. These are distributed at fairs, parades, etc. year round.
To make a longish story short, at our Labor Day outreach this year we were approached by a woman about a very special gift. We have been given (well, actually we purchased for the princely sum of 99 cents) a beautiful, red brick church building, right in the heart of downtown. It is simply lovely, on the National Historic Register, but impeccably maintained and updated, with a gorgeous new addition added about 15 years ago. It's not huge by any stretch, but a great deal larger than the little space we've been using. With all the legal steps completed, we're working on moving in now.
I was just reading this verse this very morning, and it sure fits here: The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad. (Psalm 126:3)
