Rezoning Vote Tonight

As I shared with you last week, we are having our public hearing at Town Hall tonight. Tonight is the night the town council will hear our bid for having the land behind us rezoned from a Residential zoning to that of Residential/Institutional.

We are asking all CSF people to come out and show your support for the dream and vision that we have as a church for our city. The more the better. Remember.....don't think that we will have plenty of people and not show up....because if everyone does that....it will be just our staff there.

As I said last week, their is one family that will stand up in sharp protest and will not speak very well of me or the church. So....be expecting that. However, we will not combat the family, we will just remind them of our track record in the city and what great things we have done and of course plan to do. That should be all that it takes.

Your attendance is needed to show the town council that although they have one voting family that opposes the rezoning.....we have hundreds of voting families that are in agreement. Just like in any election.....your vote counts tonight!

See you there....wear your CSF shirts and the like.

Today's Bible Reading Acts Chapter 3

The power of the Holy Spirit working in miraculous ways is evident in the book of Acts. Here, we see Peter healing a crippled beggar. He asked for a hand-out and instead received healing of his broken body. Why did Peter do this?

He did it of course for the beggar to have a working body. However, he also did it so that the power of the risen Christ could be evident to all those who had recently had him crucified. Always, remember to share with others what God is doing in your life. This is a great way to share your faith and lead others to our God who changes lives.
