A few of our completed task for this week are:
- business card's designed and ordered
- start-up brochure designed
- payroll service set up
- church phone number assigned
- nursery forms designed
- 274 letters to area Texas pastors typed, printed, folded, stuffed, addressed, stamped & mailed (that one was a doozy!)
- planning and researching for a "portable" church
At this point we are moving forward with the intention of starting the church in a school. Justin met with someone from the elementary school that is one block from our house last week. She was going to submit a formal request to the principal for us to use the cafetorium and adjoining teacher's lounge. "This is just a formality," as she stated. Once the request is approved, we will most likely agree to a 6 month term to insure that the space will be available to us on a weekly basis for that time period.
With that being said we are now beginning to plan for a mobile/portable church. The biggest need at this point is to acquire a trailer that can not only transport all the necessary items, but also store everything between services, in addition to a vehicle to pull that trailer. If you know of anything or anyone that could meet this essential need, please let us know. If you would also make this a matter of prayer, we would greatly appreciate it.
I said that this was a quick update, so I had better end. Thank you for your faithful prayers on our behalf and continued support. Until next week...
