Month of No Sundays

You have heard the phrase "a month of Sundays", but we have been experiencing a month with no Sundays.  We have had to cancel church three weeks in a row because the long house has been on use.  The last two weeks have been because of funerals.  Just a month ago we had to miss two weeks in a row because the long house was booked.  Each week I get more bummed at the thought of going another week without seeing all of our people and worshipping together as a church body.  I know the kids are just as sad if not more sad than me without church.  At least I know I will still have a hot meal and the fellowship of the team or more time with some of the youth. For the kids that is not the case.  For a long time that was case for this community every week.

When our church building is completed we won't have to worry about canceling church because somebody else is using the building.  We won't have to go weeks without seeing each other, because we will have a place to gather.  We are so close to completion- the walls are done, the flooring is being laid, and hopefully the septic system will be finished tomorrow.  One of the benefits of not having a building for the past 10 years of the ministry is that our church has clearly been made up of the people and not the building.  But now this church needs a home and this past month of no Sundays has confirmed that for us.
