That’s right. In just one week we expect to be worshipping at our new location just around the corner from Skyline, where we currently meet. Crews of volunteers have been working for weeks at 1101 National Drive, Suite A to prepare the new worship center. A lot of work has already been done including: creating a new entry (on the south side of the building), adding walls, building a stage and remodeling the bathrooms. No, it’s not Extreme Home Makeover, but the transformation is not less wonderful.
A lot had to be done to bring the building to code and prepare the facility for the church ministries. But the new location has much to offer. There is a full size kitchen for Healthy U demonstrations and potluck preparation. We will have a large entry foyer for welcoming new visitors and meeting old friends. The children’s ministry will have a large area for activities and worship. There are several other benefits to our new location: there is a Sacramento bus stop right in front of the building, we have space dedicated solely for the use of the monthly free health clinic, and, of course, since it is our own center, there will be no scheduling conflicts with another church group.

We’re excited about the opportunity that God has given us with this new worship center. There were times when we were not sure it was going to happen, but now that we are moving, we know that this is a gift for us to use to make an impact on the Natomas community. Thank you to all who were jumped in to prepare the new center. Even if you weren’t able to offer a hand in painting walls or building the stage, there is still a way that you can help prepare our new worship center. You can buy a chair, or maybe two for the new center. Click to learn more about the Second Chair campaign.
So be sure to tell all your friends and bring a neighbor or two to see our new center. With prayer and support, we will be ready for worship on Saturday, July 25th at 10:30 a.m. And don’t forget Bible study at 9:00 a.m. Here’s a map to the new location:
