UPDATE! Southbrook Monroe

Been wondering where in the world is Erie, Pennsylvania?

No?

Well, how about what's been going on with the actual launch of Southbrook Monroe?

Yes?

Well, here's the latest in a nutshell:

You may or may not have been noticing the filming for the Monroe site (if you regularly attend the 11:30 service you would have noticed b/c that is when we tape for Monroe) and the moving forward of at least some of the preparation for out newest campus. However, what you could not have noticed was an actual campus.

Here's why.

We have run into obstacle after obstacle at every single location we thought we could secure for meeting space. Roadblocks have included:

1. Too much money
2. School officials changing their minds
3. No one to actually work the weekend for certain schools
4. Locations that seemed too far out of our target area

and many many more.

The bottomline, however, is that we have decided to go ahead and start with a location that is, in fact, not right in the sweet spot in order to start upfitting a location that is. The thought is that we need to just get started and trust you all to stretch for a month or two while we get your new Monroe worship site all complete and ready to go.

So...Can you hang in there for a few more weeks?

We want to do this right, and getting the cart before the horse would definitely not be right.

Hmm, that sounds formiliar. Read this and you'll see that this principle applies in a lot of areas.

I hope so, because all those who do will find that it was well worth the wait!



For Such a Time as This,

Pastor Rob
