This past Sunday we celebrated our groundbreaking. It was incredible. Despite low temps and howling winds, we had around 700 people show up and participate.
I have been to several grounbreaking ceremonies. Usually there are a lot of dignitaries and gold shovels, which is fine, but that's just not us at Foothills. We are a team. So our groundbreaking was a B.Y.O.S event (bring your own shovel). It's hard to describe the feeling of watching hundreds of families grasping their shovels around the perimeter of what will be our new building.
As I looked at the crowd, it occured to me that this was history in the making. Years from now, there will be people worshiping the Lord in that building who have no idea who I am. They will have no idea of the sacrifice that so many made so that they would have a place to worship. But the reason we do what we do is not to gain the applause of man, but to gain the applause of our Almighty God.
I am proud to be a part of a great movement of God like Foothills Community Church.
