Ironton Tribune: SP church may have to vacate

I’m sure many of you have read or heard of the most recent article in the Ironton Tribune concerning the elementary school where we meet each Sunday (if not, you can read it here). The article basically states how we have been given 30 days to vacate the school due to a change in the building code. Let me share a few quick details about the current situation:

- We have spoke with a few officials and they feel VERY confident we can get a waiver and continue to meet in the school past those 30 days. The waiver basically involves filling out a form and attending a hearing in Columbus. We are obviously going to do whatever we need to do (steps, etc.) to prevent relocating within 30 days. We do ask that all C3ers pray for those decisions.

- I have absolute confidence that God is in control of the situation AND in control of where and how we meet. We have faced location issues before and EVERY TIME, God has delivered and made a way for us. You can read this morning’s devotional, “But if it is from God” for more about that.

- Tri-State Worship Center and South Point United Methodist Church have both offered for us to use their facilities if needed. I’m extremely thankful for other churches that would be that generous and reach out to our church. Pastor Kevin at SPUMC and Pastor Terry at TSWC, you guys are awesome and we appreciate the offer more than you’ll ever know!
