Our work continues on the building to ready it for use. We are having Bible Study, even in the clutter and will put up a sign and start inviting people to join us this coming week. We are planing a Fourth of July Celebration as the official opening of the facility with church services beginning the following Sunday. I urge you to keep this work and us in your prayers. Sunday IS coming!
This week as I read and prayed, this touched me. I pray it will be a help to you as well.
Two Cans and a String
By David Jeremiah
And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. (1 Samuel 1:10)
Remember playing with two cans and a string? The science behind that children's toy really works. When you take two cans or paper cups, punch holes in the bottom of them, and stretch a string between them, you've recreated a primitive phone. The sound of your voice vibrates the bottom of the cup at 1,000 times a second, and the vibrations run along the string, making the bottom of the second cup vibrate with sound waves. The early telephones worked the same way, except the wires were electric.
Whenever we pray, God is on the other end of the line with His ear to the cup, hearing every word and listening to every vibration of our voices. He hears even the faintest sigh. The prophet Daniel prayed regularly all his life and history was changed. The apostle Paul prayed, and cities were opened to the Gospel. Hannah prayed and God lifted her burden.
If you're in anguish or distress, you don't need two cans and a string. Two bent knees and a broken heart will do just fine.
Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.
R. A. Torrey
We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and financial. We are encouraged when we receive one of the above from one of you and God reminds us: He is still here and that each of you are here with us. So, humbly and sincerely, Thank You.
Have a great day, love you, pass it on.

A few pictures to show you "our" lake and where the Q is parked. We are blessed with a beautiful view and I have even put my hook in the water!
