Demo Update from Nydia

To say that God showed up on Saturday morning is an understatement. To say that Southbrook Church has been blessed with great volunteers is another understatement

When I got up at 5 a.m. on Saturday and saw the weather forecast, I prayed for guidance on what to do for the work day we had planned. To have people come out and work, stop halfway, come back another day and finish was not a good idea. So after praying and discussing it with Joe, our general contractor, and Paul, our executive pastor, we headed to the site with coffee and donuts.

Despite the drizzle and cold, we had 25 people with tools show up to work. (Didn't I say, Southbrook has the best volunteers?!?) The space is a bit more that 10,000 square feet and about 45% of it needed demo in preparation for the renovation. I saw people take down walls, light fixtures, ceiling tiles, bathroom tiles and move debris to the side to be dumped. We completed 75% of the demo before lunch! By the time we stopped for the day, we had completed about 95% of the demo.

At around 2:30 p.m., I locked up the site, got in my truck to head home, and it started snowing. I looked up at the sky and thanked God for holding off on the snow until we were done. Am I surprised? No! I serve a very big God who listens to our prayers, especially when we are in the mist of doing His work and growing His kingdom. That is what we are about at Southbrook Church.
