Our safe place

 

The link to this week's live-streamed service is here.



Wednesday morning was a busy time at SPPC. Inside, a group had gathered to study "The Safest Place on Earth," while outside, a boom truck arrived carrying our new heat pump.  

At the moment the truck pulled up we were discussing Crabb's "Foundational Conviction #3" A safe place to own and trace our desires to their source will put us in touch with our hunger for God. 

The topic and the truck seemed to compliment each other. Keeping our physical sanctuary warm is not what Crabb had in mind while discussing a spiritually safe place to explore our faith, yet our church life is enhanced because we have a warm, safe place to meet.

Just because I love watching other people work, here are many pictures.

There is still some tidying up work to do and a bit of fresh paint to be applied but we are grateful to Coastal Heat Pumps for their hardwork in getting the unit functioning in time for Sunday morning service.

I didn't hear anyone singing "Work for the Night is Coming," but they did work hard, because Sunday was a-coming!
