In September of 2009, Tim was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in the blood. Our prayer is that we will display God's sufficient grace throughout our test of faith. We have come to a deeper understanding of II Corinthians 12:9a which says, "...My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness..."

A New Home

Our church is on the edge of an exciting event - the Lord has provided the opportunity to purchase our very own church building!  We started in a hotel conference room in 1999.  In 2006, we moved to a community house and then in 2007, we moved to a store front lease where we have met for the past 5 years.  It is pretty exciting to think that we will have our own place and have our own identity in this shoreline community.
The building that we are purchasing was built in the late 1800's, and looks like a typical "New England" chapel with a tall working bell tower and beautiful stained glass windows.  The auditorium was remodeled a few years ago and is beautiful, as you can see in the picture below.  We are scheduled to take possession of the property in the middle of June, and then we would like to make some repairs and a few upgrades to the structure.  We are seeking help with these projects, both physical laborers and financial help.  If you would be willing to help us, you can contact us at the church office. (www.cbcbranford.org)  We are planning a "Grand Opening" and dedication service in September in conjunction with our church's 13th anniversary.
