We are thankful for the grace of God. His grace is sufficient for whatever burdens we must bear. Through Him we can have peace in all situations.

This Wednesday is a fifth Wednesday. On fifth Wednesdays we focus on current events and how we live out our faith in the world in which we live. Wednesday's are unique teaching opportunities.

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). Our building program is moving along well, and we are excited to move into the final phases of construction. The parking lot was paved, and much is going on in the building. We expect to have permanent electricity this week which will allow many things to happen. The interior stone will be installed this week as well,

Austin International School will begin school soon which means we will have additional restrictions on the use of the Adelphi Lane building. Today is the last time we will have access to the prayer rooms. I will explain more in our evening service.

Pastor James Jackson will be teaching this Wednesday night on how to pray with people to receive the Holy Spirit. I encourage everyone to be here for this lesson.
