Paul reminds us of one of the marks of our Christian faith in Romans 10:12.

"Love one another with brotherly affection.
Outdo one another in showing honor."

As we step into a 2-3 month season of asbestos abatement, office and classroom demolitions, and limited building space, our Sunday gatherings might feel a bit different. Things will likely be a bit more crowded and noisier than usual. Access will be limited to the Sanctuary, Foyers, and Fellowship Hall (where overflow seating and the livestream of the service will continue to be available). We may not have separate spaces for restless kiddos or nursing mother's (though we will have a changing table in the women's bathroom).

But let's be encouraged to see the next few months as an opportunity to exercise our Christian faith together! Let's think creatively about how we might show love and honor to one another and to the guests who visit us on Sundays. Squeeze together toward the center of the rows or plan a Sunday a month to sit in the overflow room to free up space for first time visitors. Come ready to patiently give grace, especially to those with young children. And let's all be asking God to use this building renovation for His glory and for the advancement of the Gospel to future generations!
