Last Saturday we had a BBQ/Cleanup Day/Baptism at Wingfield Park. We dunked 27 people in the Truckee River and were able to assist the City of Reno in making Wingfield Park a cleaner place.
Last week we held prayer events with our community groups meeting each evening at the new building downtown. We gave tours off the new facility, prayed for God’s provision, and prayed for the future mission of reaching the City of Reno with the Gospel from our downtown campus.
The tenant improvements for the new building are moving forward quickly (though getting a building permit from the City took longer then expected). We’re currently on pace to make the move in early October, but delays are possible.
We finished week 4 of the downtown registry fund raising just under 40% (or $61,000 of $161,000 needed). We are very close to being on track and are encouraged by the sacrificial giving – we need the generous giving to continue.
Please be praying for our Guatemala Mission Team. They left August 4th and will be returning August 14th. Pray for opportunities to share the gospel with those they’re with and their continued health and safety.
Last Sunday Pastor Harvey preached on I Corinthians 4:8-21 – If you want to be in leadership – you need to submit to leadership. The message was excellent - listen to the podcast if you missed it - http://www.lsreno.com/podcast.html. We’ll be continuing through I Corinthians during the fall months - much of which will be on the sexual immorality of the Corinthian Church and how it applies to our Church in Reno.
Brian Howard (a pastor from Sojourn Church in Louville Kentucky and part of the Acts 29 Network - http://www.acts29network.org/) will be visiting Living Stones and Preaching on Sunday, August 26th. He will also be meeting with the Elders to discuss future vision/partnership of planting new churches through the Acts 29 Network.
