Dream Update

Thank you for helping us to pursue "The Dream!" Our thanksgiving offering for our new building last month was $55,031.87. Last Sunday (December 13th), we set a new high attendance record (not counting Easter) with 1,852 people present. Praise God for many new decisions for Christ every week! To God be the Glory!

We have invested $274,740.60 so far with our contractor. Our new parking will be ready sometime in January. We now have a live camera on top of the Youth Center covering the building site. You can go to our website (www.lawtonfirst.org) and click on the "Construction Camera" link to watch the live progress.

Our new building will include nine new classrooms for our early childhood dept. which will need to be furnished with new toys and accessories. These items are listed at the baby registry at WalMart. When accessing the registry type Lawton in as the first name on the registry and First Assembly as the last name. Please consider purchasing one of these and presenting it as a birthday gift to Jesus at our Christmas Eve service at 6 p.m.

Paul said it well in 2 Corinthians 9:15..."Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" Your offerings to the Building Fund are a great way for you to express your gratefulness to your Heavenly Father for the gift of His only Son! Remember the special word God gave us. "If He puts it in your heart He will put it in your hand." Thank you for your faithful giving this year. Your gifts are making a big difference in so many lives!

Merry Christmas!

Pastor Don and Linda
