It’s snowing, it’s snowing and old man winter is blowing! It is hard to think about spring
when we have record snowfall on the ground and the snow pile is getting taller. However, to
help you think about warm weather with green grass, blue skies and gently blowing summer
breezes, think of the word “shelter house.” Yes the Croton Church of Christ is in the
process of building a shelter house on the church property at the north edge of town. In
fact, thanks to several men (in particularly Greg Couts, Jim VanSickle and Jerry Bratton) the
shelter house is completed except for the roof and a concrete pad. The cost of the shelter
house structure is covered by an anonymous donation. Now we are soliciting some
donations to cover the cost of the concrete pad which will be about $7,000. I know that this
may seem like a ridiculous time to ask for more money with the current economic situation
and the enormous needs for places like Haiti. There will always be those in need and
always someone who is suffering in spite of the condition of the economy. We are not
asking you to give up giving to charities or people who have legitimate needs or even your
regular giving to the church. What we are looking for are some people who have the ability
to help complete the shelter house and allow it to be another tool in our church’s outreach
to the community. In Matthew 17:20, 21 Jesus replied to the disciples when they were
unable to drive out a demon. “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard
seed, you can say to the mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will
be impossible for you.” Despite the conditions, if it is God’s will, we will complete the
shelter house.
