Many of you have asked about the meetings on Monday and Tuesday. Well, they were L-O-N-G. I left the parking lot at 12:23 AM after Monday's meeting (started at 4:00 PM). Not all of it was about the issues of conflict, but it was a long meeting! We dealt with the controversial things in the first two hours. The rest of just "normal" building committee decisions with our consultant. Tuesday's meeting wasn't as long, but was equally important and intense.
So - how did it go (I've been asked over and over)? You have been praying - so you deserve some kind of report. I will go into details on Sunday night (during the Vertical Worship service), but my brief answer would be this (based on how I asked you to pray):
- God answered your prayers in that I believe we clearly communicated and carefully listened.
- God answered your prayers in that I believe we spoke truthfully, yet in a gracious way (I don't know if they would agree, but I think we did).
- God answered your prayers in that I believe we responsibly represented those who are giving so sacrificially.
- God answered your prayers in that our Building Committee continues to be very unified on these important issues facing us.
- God has NOT yet answered your prayers as to a solution. We are waiting for two responses at this point. So on this issue - please keep praying!
More information coming on Sunday night. Thanks for praying and following up with questions!
Thanks, David.
I have been praying, and will continue to pray. I rejoice that progress was made, and by faith claim God's solution for this crisis. Surely he will lead the Building COmmittee forward in accomplishing God's GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT WILL.
