Today, I went to look at a meeting space for our weekly community worship services. The facility was being leased by a planter I sponsored who had to close down his church. They had renovated the space with a platform, new carpet and new paint. The price is $600/month for 1,000 square feet that includes the worship center and an office.
I was not able to do a walk through today, but hopefully will have that opportunity tomorrow.
I also secured my EIN# today and sent off my affiliation application for 501c3 status under a group ruling with FGOCI.
So far all of the expenditures for Simplicity have come out of my pocket, I hope to begin receiving some pledge cards here shortly. My last day at my current pastorate will be a week from Thursday and I will be on vacation until the end of the month. At that point there will be no more paychecks. Walking by faith is exciting, but not always fun.
