The Church that God Built: CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Mass Announcement for November 23, 2008
by: E.M. Espiritu

In Matthew 25:34, the Lord said, “Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you.” Whatever we give will be returned to us a thousand times more. . .

The on-going brick-laying works project by the 2008 Hermanos Y Hermanas is expected to be completed before the start of the Advent Season. While some portions are still being clad in bricks, other portions have already been finished. Almost all window grilles have been fabricated and some of them installed to replace the old ones. The relocation of the South Side Wooden Door have likewise started and this is expected to be finished in two weeks time.

The roof of our Adoration Chapel is in need of replacement. Most if not all are already old and rusty and leaks have started to damage the ceiling. Work shall begin by the coming week so as to prevent any further deterioration of the structure.

The race to reach the remaining half of our target has begun. As of November 18, 2008, donations received amounted to Php 1,205,878.02 which is 54.81%. At this point, we wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who continue to support 2.2@22 so that we can meet our target the soonest possible time. We still need to raise the amount of P994,121.98 and with your continued support, our outstanding obligations for the completion of the Roof and Ceiling Works can finally be settled.

Patuloy nating suportahan ang magandang gawain na sinimulan sa atin ng ating Panginoon. Minsan, tayo ay nangarap at ang pangarap na ito nasa ating harapan na ngayon. Sa pagdiriwang natin ngayon ng Kristong Hari, ating alalahanin na ano mang magandang bagay na ating gagawin para sa ating kapwa, ito ay ating ginawa para sa ating Panginoon.

The Lord Brought Me Back

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar.

Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side.

And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh.

And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.

And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."

-- Ezekiel 47: 1 - 2, 8 - 9, 12
