PROJECT/CHURCH PLANT UPDATE

A lot of good things have been happening, and we are very busy!  The picture to the right is symbolic is what we are praying to be as a community of faith, and the key word being community!  We are praying to be multi-ethnic/multi-cultural and our vision is to be united in our Love for the community of the Lehigh Valley in general.  Given that prayer, here is what we have been doing to help that along:

** Began conducting Community Needs Assessment interviews with local leaders and non-profits in the area.  The reason for this is to identify the crisis needs of the community and to gain a better understanding of how we can help.

**  We attended a local meeting for Allentown, in which about 50-60 folks were present from the Mayor’s office, local business leaders, non-profits, and churches. This meeting is part of the Mayor’s faith-based initiative program in helping the faith community collaborate with the city in helping out the city and inner city churches with the crisis needs of the community.  This was a great meeting!

**  We will be doing some outreach work as a staff as part of our workdays beginning either this week or next.  We have connected with a couple local non-profits that need our help; so.., we are going to jump in and serve the community where they need us!

** We are having our first small group community meeting tonight!  Excited about this and very thankful for the folks that will be attending!  7:00pm tonight at the DeSelm household.  If you need directions, just drop me a line @ rich@lvlegacy.org.

** Ordered T-Shirts; Bounce House; Pop-Corn maker and working on banners and signage for our upcoming picnic on the 7^th of June at Upper Macungie Park in Fogelsville at 11:00am.  Will be handing out flyers some this week and most next week.

**  Ordered and received our reusable grocery bags (they look awesome!) for our upcoming food bank drive.  We are doing this at the Super Wal-Mart in Trexlertown, PA on the 27^th of June. We chose this spot because of the diversity of folks that shop there.

**  The very next day, we will be holding our first preview service at the same Upper Macungie Park in Fogelsville, PA at 11:00am.  We will have a picnic right after that too!

**  Working on our future events to be announced later!

Please, Please, Please continue to pray about our facility issue.  We still have not identified a meeting place yet.

Thanks for following along!  Much Love to you all!
