BLOG FOR KALKASKA CHURCH OF CHRIST AS WE “RISE AND BUILD”
September 21st saw the Construction Committee at our property on West Kalkaska Road for a “ground breaking” and prayer time. Left to right: Gene Farrier, Jeff Badgero, Mike Babcock, Dean Farrier, Cecil Dunn, Chris Seabolt and Dan Johnson.
The following Sunday evening, September 23, about 90 people gathered at the site for another ceremonial groundbreaking and prayer time. Every person present had the opportunity to come forward and turn a shovel full of dirt! Even the youngsters took a break from climbing on the hills of dirt to take their turn.
What an exciting evening as we asked the Lord to guide the construction and prayed for safety for the workers. We thanked Him for his grace and leading to bring us to this place! And we asked for His continual leading – that this project will only happen with His strength and leading! It’s way bigger than any of us!! May He be glorified through this building and may we be willing to follow Him and use this to further the Kingdom in Kalkaska!!
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 – the hole is made and the footings are laid.
Curious deer have been around the construction site – their prints are everywhere!
I am not a construction person, so this blog will be in layman’s terms – if you have any questions, I will do my best to find the answers. Contact me at joyce@kalkaskachurchofchrist.com.
