A Brief Pause
For those of you who check our blog regularly, we are sorry for the delay in progress. Our town put a temporary stop to the building progress. Our engineers submitted the steel plans for approvals late. The city stopped the progress (even though the building was half way up) until they could further review the plans. Our engineers guarantee that this pause will NOT change our move in date. They will work overtime if needed to stay on schedule. So after 2 weeks, the building is moving once again. The roof is scheduled for this Monday. Pray for no more delay!

A Prayer For The Workers
The other night Pastor made his way to the property for a time of enjoying the days progress and to have time alone thanking God for this wonderful work. His thoughts seemed to stay upon the workers that show up here everyday. His burden increased as to how we could ever have time to talk to them about the Lord. Here is the prayer he wrote on the outside entrance of what will soon be the main church doors.

"...All That Enter In."
...all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 4:23.
We have an entrance! Pray as those souls "enter in" they will find the thing they have been searching for...a friendly face, a warm handshake, the Gospel. It is important for us to keep our eyes focused on those who may enter these doors. We would like to see many of these workers saved!

The Steel Has Arrived!
Today was the most exciting day yet! Early this morning 3 truck loads of steel arrived at 950 Goldstar Hwy. Many calls came into the Ludka home this morning...all sounding like little kids at Christmas time..."i
t's here, it's here!" and "you should see all the people blocking traffic just to get a look" and "I can't believe it's actually here!" These exciting days will only get better. Thank you God for giving us so much to be thankful for!Thursday, January 24, 2008
A Firm Foundation
The foundation is done and the back fill is complete! Now we are in the process of leveling the parking lot and moving some very big rocks! Of course you know that rock is the Connecticut state flower. The steel should be on the property the end of February.

Community Baptist Groundbreaking
Besides the very first service when CBC opened it's doors, today was the most exciting day for Community Baptist Church. It is hard to believe that a vision that began in the heart of one man, could become the vision and dreams of so many in only 7 years! The day began with a "buzz" in the air. Even the children knew that today would be a special day where they would realize how God used all their pennies, nickl
es and dimes for this great work. After the morning service we all headed to our property where we enjoyed watching people stroll through, claiming this land as "our own". It finally became tangible, touchable and real. Our building team and their wives came forward and were thanked by our Pastor for their time, prayers and hard work in making this day possible. Then Pastor Ludka gave a speech on how it all began and cast the vision of what will come. Mike T
eel gave a prayer of dedication and then the shovels were handed to the Building Team. What a thrill it was to see the dirt moved for the first time from these wonderful men. After that, we enjoyed pictures of each family with the hard hat and shovel. These memories will last a lifetime. So
me of the greatest pictures were from our youth group and children. We know this is the future generation of Community Baptist. Then, we came forward and unveiled the new "Future Home of Community Baptist Church" sign. One of the joyous things of the day was to see Mr. and Mrs. Watrous there, 
viewing the very thing they have yearned for in the last 7 years. Mr. Watrous' dream is "see a church building before I go home to be w
ith the Lord" Well, Mr. Watrous..."it is truly happening!" Thank you Lord for such a wonderful day and giving us so much to be thankful for.

The Foundation
It is foundation day! We did run into a snag. As the engineers were digging they ran into LEDGE! Yes, the word no one wants to hear. I guess some chipping away will take place, if that is not enough we will have to blast.
