Affirmations And Appreciation

Tonight was good for me, frustrating for others maybe, but good for me. I learned a lesson tonight that will stick with me. I guess I was trying so hard to not make the mistakes that we have seen in the past that I let it bog our decision making down. I am sorry for that.

I appreciate the trust and support that everyone gave me and our leaders tonight. It is truly humbling and encouraging.

Essentially, the overwhelming message from the crowd tonight was "why are we talking about this again? it seems really obvious that God has revealed a place for us - let's move forward!"

So, the Administrative Team is in the process of reviewing the lease and will sit down soon with the owner. Assuming there are no major complications, we will sign the lease and begin the work of moving into the Trigg building. There is overwhelming support and peace with this decision, that was confirmed (again) tonight. From what I could gather, there was 100% peace with moving forward on the Trigg property.

I appreciate the work of the Admin. team and the Leadership Council, and the patience of the entire church.

As for the Vision Team, this will likely just be far more informal than I thought it might be. Thanks for your thoughts, encouragement and honesty.

Again, I am just blessed, honored and humbled to serve you. You are loved. Thanks for your patient and fervent prayers for your Pastor, my family and The Point. What a wonderful journey we are on together!

(I am just so very grateful for the overwhelming support, confidence (in the Lord) and commitment that was shown to me and the leadership tonight. It was confirming and affirming in many ways.)

Next Wednesday, we will return to our study of Ephesians.

You are loved (and appreciated!),

Rick
