This past Sunday our church family gathered at the Forest Hill property to hold a service of dedication and to break ground in the June heat. The breaking of the ground was unusual as there were no hard hats, no excavators waiting nearby, and no survey markers. This was not a beginning of construction, but rather a prophetic statement that we are taking this land and this church will be built. There was prayer and praise and a general sense of anticipation and excitement. Each member present was offered a chance to dig a shovel-full of soil and join in the act of declaring the new church as a reality.
