IT’S A GREAT SUMMER AT DEER FLAT!
Hello Deer Flat Family,
I’ll get right to it. I’ve got a few things worth your
consideration…
#1. A Bit of Time For Yourself? I hope you’re going to have a chance to run
away for just a bit and catch some rest for your body and soul. I have been
enjoying the long days and beautiful sunsets. A bit of vacation is always a
plus. I have kept all of our traveling people in my prayers. Get away, and then
get back here… because I miss you when you’re gone!
#2. Camps Are Starting – Monday kicks off Middle School Camp. There’s
still time to get your kids signed up. These will be life changing experiences
for all who attend. Memories will be made that will last forever, and so will
the spiritual investment. Please keep these children and students, workers and
camps in your prayers. We love seeing our children and youth encounter God!
#3. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT VOTE JULY 10 – As many of you know, we have a very
important vote happening in just a couple of weeks. This will determine the
direction for our future. I am asking that you prayerfully consider this
significant next step for Deer Flat. The relocation of our Children’s Ministry
plays a key role in our future with all of those young families we expect will
come through our doors. Nothing will be more convenient than for a person to
walk into the Church, have the sanctuary on one side, and the children just
across the lobby on the other side. This new project will also include doubling
the size of the lobby, additional restrooms, a more than adequate kitchen, and
an incredible place for the children. Your vote will help us discover God’s
will. Your vote will need to include a commitment. We are going to need a 75%
positive vote and $2 million in pledged commitments. Cost of the overall
project: $3 million.
The entire leadership team of
Staff and Board believes that this is the right next step for Deer Flat. It is
all driven by need. Each part of this project is so legitimate and it makes
such good sense to do this. We are confident that God will provide the need to
do this, just like He’s done for 108 years. Thank you for your steadfast
faithfulness, generosity, and prayerful partnership in this important decision.
And, thanks for helping make this an amazing summer!
Loving You and Him!
Pastor D
