Samuel 7:27
For You, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.
Hello Friends,
I wanted to update everyone on the progress of out small congregation here in Tinycoc in building our new church- the Fourth Baptist Church of Tinycoc. I believe I had mentioned before that we had found a new site for the church, not in the center of town like the old one, but rather on the outskirts of town, in a place that no one has ever built anything before!
Thanks to the Good Lord's oversight and work, we feel that we were almost led to Yunkelo Acres. It was surprisingly inexpensive, almost like the current owners wanted to get rid of it! Not surprising in this Obama-destroyed economy.
I took a camera with me, so we could share in the Joy of what will be our new palce of Holy Worship.
Here's a path to the clearing in the woods:
Here are a few strange structures that are scattered here and there:
Some holes in the rocks! (Maine has a lot of bedrock)
One of the parishoners even found some animal bones buried under some deadfall we were clearing. Probably a moose. We'll have some great hunting in the fall in the back of the Churchyard!
All in all, a beautiful, Blessed place!
We are ordering a foundation to be excavated and poured this week based on the plans of the Third Baptist Church, which fit our needs very nicely. We plan to have it done by mid-December, in time for out Annual Christmas festivities! I could not think of a better way to start out in a new House of Worship. This time we are making it fireproof, due to an unfortunate incident that happened in the past.
Joshua 22:29
Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn from following the LORD this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God which is before His tabernacle.”
I don't know how many of you nice Landover folks come to Maine to go skiing or hunting, but if you do come all the way up to Tinycoc, feel free to look me up.
Youre in HIS HOLY name,
LHM.
