Rock Harbor Bullet Points  -  Friday, May 30, 2008

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

A favorite story from the life of Christ pictures children coming to be with him.  They are held back by their elders.  Jesus chastises the adults, implores them to permit the children access, and even holds them up as examples and says that in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, we have to become like them!  He could have been talking about our high school group this last Tuesday night!!

The rubber began to meet the road last Tuesday as Operation Renovation went into full tilt demolition mode!  Matt brought the high school students out in numbers, and they came ready for action.  25 or more students with as many other adults and parents throughout the night combined for an incredible night that exceeded every expectation!  Walls, carpets, staging and more were all brought to their bare place of preparation for the makeover yet to come!  A week’s worth of work in a few hours of well led efforts from lots of willing hands!

MANY THANKS for all who have been a part of the first exciting week of Operation Renovation!  Now is the time when we need everyone to step up to take us to the next level!!  

Please read the list below, and see which of the following times might work for you to hop on board this week with OPERATION RENOVATION!  Somebody noticed that serving in this project is like a slice of life from ministry in Mexicali, but it’s right here at the Lighthouse!  This may be the most significant chapter of life and ministry at Rock Harbor in the year to come.  Please reply to this message to let us know where you might fit in the week ahead bringing life to the Lighthouse!  Families are welcome.  Please bring gloves, eyewear, and a hammer if you can.  We really need help this week in particular (Saturday 5/31, Monday and Tuesday are critical!) to stay on track with the construction plan.
