For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Romans 5:6-11

Water pressure Update

For the past few weeks, we have been experiencing significant water pressure issues in the building. This has created the need to forego the use of most of the sinks and toilets on the second floor of the building. Based on our diligent investigation and testing, we do not believe the disruption in pressure is a result of problems on our side of the water supply. The city is aware of the problem, but we have not gotten an idea of a timeline for them to investigate and address the issue. We are pursuing some minor repairs that may improve the situation. Thank you for your patience as we wait on a potential resolution.


OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE
