It was a G-R-E-A-T Day......

It was a BEAUTIFUL spring day in Kent City. We met for the first time in our new church building on Sunday. We are having the dedication service on May 4th. It has been a long process that started over 6 years ago, with a pledge banquet at Algoma Schools.

Below is a picture of the 'Move that Bus Moment'
(that wasn't an original idea...if any of you were wondering!) The only picture I took of the interior during the service
(P. Ken along with the Building committee) Dad on the left

The cross out in front of the church. It was put out on the land when it was purchased, in part by Tim Rawson. "MOVE THAT BUS!!" Pastor Josh 'TY' Fisher
Exterior view (some work still needs to be done!) Picture was taken before all the masses arrived!
Sign that sits along side of M-37, in memory of......William Sr. & Vivian Rexford (my Dad's Dad & Mom), Marian(aka Aunt Marian) Mundinger-Rexford-Hunt (my Dad's Step-Mom), Lawson & Eunice Brown (my Dad's Grandparents) and Sharon Rexford (my Mom).

All were instrumental in the development of KCBC.....they would be so proud to see a sign proclaiming the Good News it represents.
The Building committee...it's been a long road!!
Some of the facts of the day......720 in attendance......(140 of that were kids!)...not many open seats in the sanctuary!!

60 cars still had to park in the dirt!

Come early on May 4th!!!!

It was so awesome to see all the seats filled and so many of them filled with people I've never seen. This is why we built a new church...to reach our community! The harvest is ripe!......
