Church Update

Were over half way through the book of Mark.  We’ll be finishing up chapter 9 this week and moving into 10.  We maybe looking for a new place.  It depends on how things in the next month at our current location.

BTW: Sorry for the slow updates.  Shortly after we started the church my grandfather passed away.  The services have continued but I haven’t been able to update the website.

Service will be changed for June 10

Hello everyone,

This Sunday’s service will not be held at the church building in Toledo. The owners of the building are having a 50 year celebration. So we will have service at 10:00 am at Pearson Park. Please call for the exact lot number.

We’ve Moved

We’ve be a church for 3 weeks and we’re already moving. The Lord has given us the use of a church facility in Toledo. We will be meeting at the Faith Community United Church of Christ at 8:30. We hope to see you there.

A facility maybe opening up

We had our first service this week. An illness in the family kept many away from our first service but I’m thankful for the people who were able to come. This really means a lot to me.

But your wondering, “What does this have to do with the church search?” Well on Friday, a church location I had inquired about several weeks ago called and told us we have been approved by their council. We are just waiting for the result of the congregation’s vote.

This potential facility is luxurious compared to our current facility. But, we would have to have our service at an inconvenient time. Pray for wisdom and the Lord’s direction.

We have a facility!

We now have a facility; its the Comfort Inn East on Navarre Ave. in Oregon, Oh. Sunday services will be 10:00am. Our first service will be April 22nd, 2006.

Our future plans are to start a mid-week service sometime this summer.  For this to happen we will need a more permanent facility solution.  As with all things as the Lord wills in the Lord’s time.

Thank you all for your prayers.

We may have a facility

I had a bid on one location, but the approval process is extremely slow and may be over our budget.  While we’re waiting for that bid to come though a local hotel I had contacted 3 months eaerlier has answered our call and is willing to work with us and our budget.  Please pray that we get one of the facilities.

The church search begins…

If you look at the Locations & Times section it says that we were hoping to start services in mid-March. Well, the planned location has decided to opt-out and not allow us to have services. So, we’re looking for a location. Also, we’ve approched several area locations but they were either out of our price range or where unreceptive to host a ‘religious organization.’
So I’m coming to you. We have a $200-300/month budget. We need use of a facility for at least Sunday morning please email us at churchsearch@bhcc.us or churchsearch@blessedhopeonline.org. Any help would appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
