Building Update 3

Date 9.3.08

If you have driven on the 15 freeway lately then you have seen the sign of the times.  tideschurch.org is in permanent letters on the front of a beautiful building that faces the traffic of thousands of cars every day. I never thought I would be so happy about traffic in Southern California!  What an exciting time and day for our community!

Tonight if you drive by you will be able to see our sign all lit up carrying on the vision and commitment of a great saint in our city’s history named Amy McPhereson who sought to establish a great Light on a hill the whole valley would see.   What a great heritage we get to carry on.  Our church comes from a long list of great reformers like A.B Simpson who left a high paying church job on the East coast to reach out to the lost and unloved on the shipping docks of New York City.  Boy, what would they think of us today as we carry on a great work that above all is pleasing to the Lord.  Now that’s some good ole Baptist preacher coming out in me!

The me of right now is so proud of everyone who has lent their time, energy and resources to be such a big part of all of this coming together!  We started with a very limited budget and I am literally watching as Jesus multiplies the fish and the loaves.  It is truly amazing.  I would get writers cramp if I had to hand write all of the thank you notes to the many who have gotten involved!

In October we will all stand together in worship in our new auditorium in our new church building for the very first time.  Be thinking now of who you will invite to help us reach 100’s people on our first sunday for the Kingdom of God in Lake Elsinore!  Keep watching for more updates and stop by the building to see the progress when you get a chance!
