As many of you know we’ve begun to do some minor improvements to our church facility here in Littlerock. Some of you have already seen that we’ve added some small windows to the church sanctuary. This allows for folks to look into our worship space while worship is in progress and allows for Annie and the children to be able to see when it’s time to come back into worship. It’s also very inviting when new folks come and visit our church. Another minor improvement we’ve made is that we’ve installed a window on my office door.  This  allows for folks to be able to see into my office in case they need me and also has become the norm for most small and large churches today for liability reasons for pastors and church staff. Another small improvement is that we’ve turned the food pantry, with sessions approval, into a small church office for Gail, our church office administrator. This again is a great improvement to our church for a couple of reasons. Gail and I have shared an office for around three months. Moving Gail to another space will allow for both Gail and I to work more efficiently.   At the same time it gives me the privacy needed if I’m in a meeting, studying, or in a counseling session. Other small improvements as I’ve shared in last months newsletter include the repair of the swamp cooler for the sanctuary and several locks for some doors here at the church.

There are other ideas that folks have shared that have been talked about and will be a topic for discussion for the church session board. If you recall from a recent newsletter one of the responsibilities your session has is the maintenance and care of our church facility. This means seeing to it that the church maintenance needs are being taken care of on a regular basis. I’ve already shared with the elders that it’s important to take care of what the Lord has given to us. I encourage you to help us take care of our church facility. This means we all need to be faithful in our giving of our tithe and of our talents as well. Special thanks to Bob, Ad, George, Matthew, and Dan who’ve helped in getting our new church office ready for Gail. Pray for your elders as they seek God’s wisdom in making our church here at Community Presbyterian Church a place that is welcoming and Christ centered for all those who come and worship with us here in Littlerock.

Because of him,
