Dear friends of Munger Place Church,

Construction at the church is really moving along. For the past month, we've had a Sistine-Chapel-style scaffolding set up in the sanctuary. Click here for pics. This has enabled the workmen to get right up close to the ceiling and work, and what they've done looks great. Also, the construction crews have set up scaffolding on the outside of the church as well, which means that the community can finally see that we mean business!

Please keep praying for the Lord to do a mighty thing in and through Munger Place Church.
Yours,
Andrew Forrest
Pastor, Munger Place Church



What We've Been Up To
On Saturday, August 7, we had a workday in the Munger Education Building (the old Wilkinson Center). When the funds for the Munger project were raised, we anticipated that the Wilkinson Center would continue to use the Education Building for years to come. For strategic reasons, they decided at the end of 2009 to shift their focus to their I-30 and Buckner location, and so we found ourselves with an empty 3 story Education Building. Since no funds were raised to renovate the building, we'll be renovating the building ourselves. (It's in pretty good shape!) So, we've begun the process, and will be working on that building in the months to come.


On Tuesday, August 2, we got word that a family that formerly attended the old Munger Place United Methodist Church suffered a house fire. Many of our team members offered to help the Lopez family in any way possible, and it was encouraging to me to see how committed our folks are to service in the name of Jesus Christ. Maybe the "church" hasn't opened yet, but I think the church at Munger Place is doing a lot of great work!
