Following a phenomenal summer of 2015, with lots of activities for our children teens and adults to glorify our Heavenly Father, September concluded with the addition of another new member, prayer and annoiting of our new counseling elders and the beginning of the construction for our new ADA-compliant bathrooms. 

1. Welcome to Brother Wesley Jefferson, our newest member. May God bless and keep you!! 

2. Congratulations to our new team of counseling elders. You have demonstrated your faithfulness, availability and love for the Lord over the years. The Pastor and members of our church need your wisdom, counsel, knowledge and foresight as we grow together and advance the Kingdom of God.

Proverbs 15:22

3. Ground breaking ceremony - A great display of support and love on September 19th was witnessed as we celebrated the launch of our construction for our ADA-compliant bathrooms and church addition. We were joined by Old Line Bank representatives, Pastor Max Ware, Chair of the Elder Board, CDP District and David Kacar, Classic Design and Build. The weather was beautiful as was the celebration. Praise God!

We are believing God that a well qualified painter will come forth to 

paint the entire exterior of the church prior to the bitter cold weather

setting in, at a fair and reasonable price, and permit monthly payments

versus one lump-sum payment to ease the church's financial burden.
