Construction Update
Grace Family,
We have another exciting update from the building site!
The sitework is progressing nicely, and it is exciting to see the transformation taking place on our
property. Morgan Anderson and his crew are doing a great job, and we are very grateful for the work
they are putting into preparing the site for our new church home.
And once again, God's timing has been perfect!
The latest rain came at just the right time and provided some much-needed moisture for the site.
Once again, we have been blessed by God's provision and His perfect timing. It is amazing to look
back over this entire project and see how often things have fallen into place at just the right
moment.
The sitework will continue to progress into the parking lot area next week. As that work moves
forward, we are getting closer to some very exciting milestones in the construction process.
What's Coming Next?
Our next major step will be utility installation as we prepare for the pouring of the concrete
foundation, which is currently anticipated for early November.
Following the foundation work, the steel structure for our new building is expected to arrive in mid-
November. That will be an especially exciting moment for all of us. After years of talking about our
new church home, we will begin to see the building itself rise from the ground!
It is hard to overstate how exciting this season is for Grace Methodist Church. What started more
than 3½ years ago with a vision, prayer, and a step of faith is now becoming a physical reality.
Every week, we can see another piece of the vision coming together.
The dirt is moving.
The utilities are coming.
The foundation is approaching.
And soon, the steel will begin to rise!
As exciting as these milestones are, we know there is still much work ahead. Please continue to pray
for everyone involved in this project—our Construction Team, Morgan Anderson and his crew,
contractors, architects, engineers, church leadership, and all of the people working behind the
scenes to make this project possible.
And especially, please pray for the weather. The next several weeks are important as we prepare for
Join the Grace Prayer Band as we unite in daily prayer and a shared weekly focus. Wherever you
may be, take time each day to pray for the weekly Prayer Focus, and especially pause each
Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. to pray together as one body. Set an alarm if that helps, and dedicate
this moment to center your heart and mind on God. If you are able, please also consider fasting
in some form on Wednesdays.
This week our Prayer Focus is FOR OUR LIVES TO BEAR FRUIT FOR GOD
THIS WEEK’S PRAYER FOCUS
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another,
as good stewards of God's varied grace:
1 Peter 4:10
the foundation work and the erection of the building structure. We need good weather to keep the
sitework moving, get the foundation poured, and allow the steel structure to be erected according
to schedule.
Throughout this journey, we have repeatedly seen God's faithfulness. We have also learned that His
timing is not always our timing—but His timing has consistently provided what we needed when we
needed it.
So let's continue to be patient, continue to pray, and continue to celebrate each milestone along
the way.
We are getting closer!
Soon, we won't just be looking at plans and imagining what our new church home will look like. We
will be standing inside it, worshiping together and giving thanks for what God has done.
Thank you, Grace Family, for your continued prayers, support, generosity, and excitement. We are
incredibly blessed to be on this journey together.
God has been faithful.
God continues to provide.
And we can't wait to see what He does next!
To God be the glory!
