In 1 Chronicles 22:19 God says, "Seek me, build me a temple."
On Sunday, June 3rd, the choir and orchestra will be presenting the anthem Come Build a Church as we dedicate the new building addition. This anthem, written by Ken Medema, captures the true essence of the nature and foundation of the church through themes of love, unity, peace, and communion. The church is much more than just a building. Here are the lyrics to the chorus:
"Come build a church with soul and spirit, come build a church of flesh and bone. We need no tower rising skyward; no house of wood or glass or stone. Come build a church with human frailty, come build a church of flesh and blood. Jesus shall be its sure foundation. It shall be built by the hand of God."
The building is a place for the entire community to seek God together, a place to pray, mourn, celebrate, question, and learn. Building a facility where community and God can meet is a powerful act of seeking God and His favor. We build to make space for others to come to know Jesus Christ.....a place where Jesus is the sure foundation.
David Shanklin
Choir Director

Salvation Army Camp Donations
We are collecting summer play clothes, socks, shoes, and beach towels for Salvation Army campers
from May 20-27.
This faith-based camp located in the Martinsburg area will be hosting many campers this summer including some local children, aged 7-14, who often don't have the basics needed for camp. This ministry touches the lives of many children who may never be exposed to the love of Christ if not for the camp experience. A collection basket is in the Narthex for: new or clean, gently used summer play clothing, socks, shoes, and beach towels. Please keep these children in your prayers this summer.

Service of Consecration & Open House
Sunday, June 3
- Service of Consecration 10:00 a.m. (between worship services) Community Open House 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Work is nearing completion on the covered entrance which will finish the church addition. You have been very faithful in your financial support. Through April, over $1,799,483 has been received. Because of your "up front giving" our "construction draw" to date is $1,692,169. Although we will have a few more expenses as we complete the total project, it is not expected that we will need to borrow the total $2 million as once planned. It will not be long until we will have to convert the "draw" to a monthly mortgage. Every gift now will help us lower the total borrowed and the monthly payment. Prayerfully consider making a gift now if you are able. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Construction Update
This week concrete continues to be poured with the sidewalks and curbs nearing completion but will be moving to different areas next week. They have finished underneath the canopy and are preparing for the finish to be applied. They also continue to work on the exterior Dryvit finish at the entrance of the Sunday/COM entrance. Weather (rain) still plays a factor and may cause some delays pouring concrete. Forward progress to serve.
