Grace Pointe attendance solidifies
Grace Pointe actually saw an improvement in attendance in February. We saw our low attendance at 11, with a high attendance of 15.
Another encouraging sign is the fact that our core is becoming more consistent in their attendance. In fact, one of our newest members actually had the hours of her new job worked around church services.
Our youth programs on Tuesday night got off to a good start. Our high attendance was 15 on Feb. 3, with a low attendance of 6 on Feb 24.
We set a new record for average attendance at Market Place for Wednesday evening attendance. That average attendance was 14. Our high attendance was 17 on Feb. 18. Our low was 12.
Core Group and regular attendees progress
One of our regular attendees from Market Place is now attending Sunday services at Grace Pointe and is taking an active role in the ministries of our mission.
One of our core families has not only become more faithful in their attendance, but they are actively applying the teaching and preaching to their lives and are making Spiritual and practical progress.
Grace Pointe’s core group is now mulling VBS plans for this summer.
Thank you for your prayers.
Building fund off to slow start
There are currently three church buildings on the market in Brownwood, with a fourth that could be purchased with the right offer.
These buildings range in price from $150,000 - $250,000. One will soon be available for rent for $600/month. I think we should expect to pay approximately $150,000-$175,000.
Currently, we have $300 in our building fund.
Our plans for Grace Pointe’s organization are not contingent on having a building. However, in West Central Texas, buildings can be a useful tool when it comes to visibility, as well as offering sufficient space for worship services and teaching ministries.
KSTA Radio suffers serious technical damage
I am employed as the station manager for KSTA radio in nearby Coleman, Tex., a position I have held since July 2008.
This month, KSTA’s main studio console failed, forcing me to make alternate broadcast arrangements and consuming much of my time with technical adjustments, plus additional weekend monitoring.
As of the writing of this report, the issues have been repaired. However, the added stress and lost time related to this incident have taxed the mission immeasurably.
Mission: Brownwood returns to the Brownwood Housing Authority
In March, Ken and Barbara Sibley will bring their program to Brownwood. We are planning a three-day event which will include presentations at Market Place, the Brownwood Housing Authority and Grace Pointe MBM. We are really excited to reconnect with the kids we ministered to at the housing authority.
