Pastor Chris' Newsletter- 9-16-08

Dear Orchard Grove Family,

I have two pieces of good news for you.

First.

In case you missed the announcement on Sunday, we have an agreement on the purchase of Building A. We hope to close on the property in a few weeks. Renovations have already begun. We hope to move our students in in a couple months! Wow. So thank you to all of you who've helped and all who are joining in our Family Business.

As we always say, its a little about the property and a lot about the people. So its great to have a building, but its all about making room for more. Our building will house the up and coming generation as they learn about God's purpose for their lives.
I can say first hand that our students are growing in their relationships with Christ and with each other.
Just spend a little time around our students and you can see the good work that God is doing. Not only are they personally growing but the group itself is growing larger almost every week.
This could not have come at a better time. Way to go!

Second. Save October 12th on your Calander. That is the day our fall spiritual growth series begins. Its called REST! It will be seven weeks of life changing messages and an opportunity to be involved in classes and small groups as we accept Jesus' invitaton to live the life he has for us.
This Sunday you will learn more about REST! and how you can be involved.



"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will
give you rest. Jesus Matt 11:28(NIV)


Ready for some Rest,

Chris


P.S. We have a special kickoff event on October 4th. A drive in movie right at building C.
