to celebrate the new building project. It's a rise and build vision Sunday and thus the gorgeousness that's going on behind me.

And we're celebrating all that God has done, all that he's going to continue to do in this

house.

I got to spend time with you last week talking about the fact that we are a 70-year-old

congregation that people sitting where you've sat before felt the sense we need to

build a new place ended up building on bechelli and then again the spirit of god moved and they

30 years ago and said hey we need to build a new place and we ended up here and so we're in a long line

of what the lord is doing in the city of reading and then globally and then should the lord not return

you know we're going to

passing this church on to people 70, you know, 70, 170. I don't know if they'll wait that long,

270. But we're part of an ongoing, it's radically important move. Rick Warren said years ago,

I quote him, I'll give him credit right now. The Church of Jesus Christ is doing the most important work on the planet.

And so we are really, really excited about being on his mission with him.

Today we're starting the second phase of our rise and build movement and campaign.

And it's about preparing the way for those who have not yet heard of life in Christ.

And so let's enjoy this video.

Can you see it?

A movement.
