Thank God for miracles……every time I get frustrated and worried, the Lord provides another one, and it amazes me! I really should have more faith!
We have been looking for a facility to meet in for the next two weeks for St. Patrick’s, our Noblesville/Hamilton County Mission. We have been meeting at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds since September, but with the Hamilton County Fair being held there these next two weeks, we needed a temporary place for these next two weeks to meet. And though we have been looking, our search had not produced anything suitable!
But thank God for State Senator Luke Kenley, who is now allowing us to use one of his properties over these next two week. The old Goodwill store in Noblesville (1950 East Conner) will be our home these next two Sundays at 9:00 am!!! We had been praying for something, and the Lord indeed provided!! And Senator Kenley’s generous offer is appreciated more than you can know! (I’d tell you I’d start voting for him but in fact I always have voted for him! He is a pretty great guy and the one leading the charge on property tax reform in Indiana. We are blessed to have him as our Senator!) Please send him a note if you read this telling him thanks for providing a place for us to hold our services. He does deserve our thanks!
So the next two weeks are taken care of, but another longer-term issue still exists. We are in deep need of a permanent location for St. Patrick’s, such as a store front, or another building in which we can both worship AND hold classes and such. The fairgrounds is great, and the people there are some of the finest I have ever met, but we rent it each day we use it, and have to tear down and set up each time. It is expensive and time consuming. But a location in Noblesville we could use 24/7, would get A LOT of use on our part and we believe, be a real blessing to our community. We have been looking, and we have been praying. We will keep up our search too!
And like the temporary facility we will be using for the next two week, we believe and know, that the Lord will provide a long-term home!
Have faith, and believe!! I know we do!!
God bless!
