Day 21: Thursday 2nd April pray for building

​It’s interesting as I write this Community Church Blackburn hasn’t met physically as a congregation in a physical building since the 15th April 2020. Its nearly 20 days since then and I can testify that the church, without physically meeting feels stronger and more vibrant than ever!!.
Paul the Apostle says this to the church in Ephesus
20 Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. 21 We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. 22 Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.
Never does this feel so real and relevant, at the moment, as we are scatted about Blackburn and further afield. But God is building His temple and building his Church.
Over the last 20 years Community Church Blackburn has physically met in different locations and places and our presently place of meeting has been Wesley Hall.
We have been so Blessed while we have been there and it’s a wonderful beautiful place to meet together.
Please spend a moment today to give thanks to all the people who work to maintain and upkeep Wesley Hall. Give thanks to for all the work Pauline and her staff do and also the Methodist management committee who allow us to use this building.
Please give us guidance as a church praying about where we continue to meet, as the life of the church progresses. It would be wonderful to have our own space and use this for mission, work with the poor and outreach for the Glory of God if He wills it.
I believe when the time is right for CCB. He will provide a building, but it will be for His Glory and His Glory alone!!  So keep praying!

How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
