It is happening!

This picture may be a little cheesy, but I thought I would still share it with you. We were camping this past weekend and the weather was absolutely perfect! We have found this to be a good way to “unplug.” We were certainly refreshed and we are ready to tackle these next few months!

In case you haven’t heard, we are opening up a new space of 6,200 sq. ft. in Manheim, in the Penn Towne Center Shopping Center, across from the Manheim Auto Auction! The cement has been poured and the framing starts this week!

It is becoming real, as we see the print of the new sign that will be going up!

June 1^st, we are kicking off a 3 month push to raise funds for the build out of this space! The whole project will be $275,000! Gulp….! Prices have gone up for construction and we are believing God will provide more than enough!

It is going to take a village to complete this project by August 13, which is our open house, dedication and grand opening! Here are a few ways you can get involved.

• Pray! We need this whole project to be “bathed” in intercession as we open up a new location, and with all of the construction!
• Marketing – Help us spread the word, as we expand and can have more students!
• Give! Every gift is appreciated…small or large…it all adds up! We have a breakdown of a list of costs you can request, if you are interested in giving towards a specific item. Or CLICK HERE to donate!
• Connections! – do you know of anyone who might be interested in giving to this project? I would be happy to explain the vision over coffee to you or anyone!
• Volunteers to help with clean up, putting furniture together, cleaning etc. etc.

Please email me at connie@cavod.org if you would be interested in more information on any of the categories above! THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE!

As I was mediating and spending time in His Prescence this weekend, I was drawn to the scripture in Ephesians 3:12-20.

Vs. 11 – In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

Vs 16-20 – That He would grant you, according to His riches in glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

That Christ may dwell in your hearts, through faith;

that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;

that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

NOW to HIM who is able to DO exceedingly abundantly above ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US,

TO HIM be GLORY in the church by CHRIST JESUS TO ALL GENERATIONS,

FOREVER AND EVER Amen!!

We have an opportunity to bring the arts to another community which is Manheim! To touch one life at a time and empower a generation!! What a privilege and honor!

I am excited and can’t wait to see all that God will do, as we are rooted and grounded in love, and filled with ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD!! This brings so much hope! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!

The song “Trust in God”, by Chris Brown from Elevation Worship, says it all!

I trust in God my Savior! He will never fail!

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine

He’s been my fourth man in the fire time after time

…Oh I trust in God, my Savior the one who will never fail

I trust in God, my Savior

Perfect Submission, all is at rest

I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps

So this is my story and this is my song!!

I sought the Lord and He heard, and He answered!

CLICK HERE to listen to the whole song!

Prayer: “Lord you never fail! You always work out things in our lives! We ask boldly in faith, and and trust you to do more than we can ask our think! Thank you for your love and your Holy Spirit that directs us and leads us! YOU NEVER FAIL! Thank you, in Jesus Name, Amen!”

Have a wonderful, amazing week my friends! Mediate on the verses from Ephesians above, and let the Presence of God touch your heart, and build faith in your lives! It’s there! Ask for it!

Coffee and love sent your way for a great week! 😊
