I love when the new year rolls around and we get to unveil our new theme at church! Joshua works hard at developing a theme and he and Patrick work together towards goals set for a year. Then we have a vision service on a Sunday night in January. After church that morning I take down all the Christmas decorations and put up decorations having to do with the theme So it could be ready to be revealed that night. It is so much fun!
This year our theme is Rooted
We are wanting to strive to be rooted in Christ and have deep roots!
They have also developed a point and award system throughout the year where you could read the Bible, commentaries, listen to messages, read missionary, biographies, and a host of other things to get points towards earning a reward.
Everyone is jumping right in and reading and growing and working at making our roots go deep!
The building is also coming along Amazingly! They put up the steel framing so now we can see the walls of where things will be.
When you see the outline of the walls it just makes everything look bigger and it's getting so exciting
We are working as God provides the money and it's so good to see him provide every step of the way!

I love your idea about having a theme word for the year and decorating to go along with it. I think it really helps the people to get their minds focussed on the Word that is coming. The church building is going up and it's getting pretty exciting.
