Dear Friends,

What could not have happened has happened! We are in our new home and it fits us perfectly. People come up to me every Sunday saying how beautiful it is and wishing us the best. First let me recognize the power of our teaching. As a Board of Stewards, we stuck to Treatment and had faith in the universe and its response to our word. We did our part and let the universe do its part. When times got rough we simply focused on the goal. But more than anything else we learned to release - let go and let God. And not only did we purchase our perfect home a block from the Pacific Ocean, but at the price we said six months before we wanted to pay. Second let me thank you for your role in this. Many members of our congregation worked to raise money for our building fund. Thank you! Others contributed generously. Thank you! All of us used our thought to see us in our new home. Thank you! And since we have moved in, your response has been wonderful. Much cleaning, pruning, plumbing and wiring has been done. Thank you! Many have sat on committees to make good plans for the future. Thank you! And many have volunteered to serve on Sundays and other times to welcome, sell books, record tapes, etc. Thank you! I must be honest. When we first considered this action of buying a building, the first thing that came to my mind was not, "Can we afford it?" but the willingness of our congregation to roll up their sleeves and participate. We are amazing and rare people. We don't just think about metaphysics, we act as though it was so. This convinced me within minutes that we should go ahead. It is the human spirit that can make anything happen. You have proven this to be true. Thank you! There is still much to do. Renovation, rental management, wedding management. Children's Church and Youth group organization. But we will do it because we let God work through us.

With great love,
Bill
