I know it’s three strikes and you’re out, but you’re still in the game with four fouls. So let’s just say we’ve had three fouls.
Our first foul was announcing we were going to dedicate our new gym at the Thanksgiving Dinner. That didn’t happen
due to unexpected delays and significant changes. The second was when we announced it would be on February 15th, the third was when we re-scheduled it for March 15th, and now we’re planning to step up to the plate again, on April 12th. Yes, we’ve set another date, and we’re even going to publicly announce it to the community.
After discovering a failure to put a needed vapor barrier under the concrete, grinding the surface, applying a moisture barrier on top of it, adding a thin layer of cement, and then installing the flooring and painting the lines, it’s done. Our
volleyball season is already behind us, but the door to the future enjoyment of our gym is just around the corner.
We’re planning to invite the community to an open house to be held from 2-4 on Sunday afternoon, April 12th. We want
everyone to have a chance to see what Jack and Bonnie made possible for church activities and sports-related evangelistic outreach. After our guests have left, we’ll have an all-church pizza party, officially dedicate the gym, and together start enjoying an amazing gift.
The devil no doubt thought he had won when the Son of God was crucified, but three days later the empty tomb made it
very evident that he had lost. Our prayer is that lots of young people, families, and individuals will find a church that loves
and serves a living risen Savior when they come to play in our gym.
God Bless, Rick
