Wow! What an excit­ing week­end it was at Bryan UPC! We invested our time doing a good work for the Lord. We con­tin­ued in our “Church Beau­ti­fi­ca­tion” project, by replac­ing our car­pet. The men got together after church Sun­day morn­ing to move the pews so the car­pet could be replaced. As daunt­ing as a task this seemed to be, with unity and a mind to work the process was accomplished.

   “So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the peo­ple had a mind to work.” Nehemiah 4:6

In the word of God we see how when peo­ple become uni­fied and have a mind to work much can be accom­plished. Gen­e­sis chap­ter 11 is an exam­ple of how that when peo­ple come together, change can occur. As a church we were uni­fied and in the beau­ti­fi­ca­tion project. Peo­ple worked tire­lessly clean­ing pews, fix­ing the sound sys­tem, vac­u­um­ing, re-sealing the win­dows, chang­ing lights, clean­ing tile, and a lot of other clean­ing duties to help ren­o­vate the church. In the end we saw a fin­ished prod­uct of what hap­pens when peo­ple have a mind to work. We are not com­pletely done with our beau­ti­fi­ca­tion project, but we have come a long way and have seen a lot of good come from it and are very excited about the future.
