We’re excited to announce the Fellowship Hall renovations will begin this week. With the goal of maximizing efficiency and missional effectiveness of our space, the Fellowship Hall will be redesigned to provide a more welcoming and functional space for both our church/school ministry. This is something we’ve been longing to do and we thank the Lord for the opportunity to do so in this season.
As the project begins, we ask that you would partner with us in three specific ways:
First, please pray for this project and the safety of everyone working on our campus. Pray that they will feel the presence of Jesus as they work and that the city will show us favor so we can move things along quickly, minimizing the inconvenience of sacrificing the fellowship hall for both our church and school.
Secondly, on Sunday mornings, we ask for much grace and for your flexibility and understanding as we navigate together the mess and any inconveniences that go along with this renovation. In order to expedite the project, we are closing off the entire fellowship hall and the surrounding areas, instead of just closing portions of it at a time. While it may be inconvenient for a short season, we believe the payoff will be well worth it, as we look forward to seeing how the Lord will continue to use our campus to advance His kingdom here in South Florida through Bethany Christian School and Rio Vista Church.
To help maintain a welcoming atmosphere and balance attendance (including parking), we kindly ask you to consider attending the 11am service if you usually attend the 9am service. This adjustment would be a tremendous blessing, especially since nearly 60% of our new guests tend to join the early service.
