The ground was “sopping wet” as crews worked to make the Construction Entrance to MVCC’s property. Next step is to gravel the entrance. “The house of the LORD God is to be here….” 1 Chronicles 22:1

Dig this! After the 9/14/2008 church service at Urbana High School, folks drove over to park on MVCC's land overlooking Sugarloaf Mountain on a hot sunny day. Over 100 people circled the planned foundation of MVCC's building for a ceremonial breaking of the ground. Even the general contractor for construction attended. Adults brought their own shovels, and all the children were provided small blue "MVCC" shovels. Brief prayer was led by all ages (i.e. child, teen, adult), thanking Him for His blessings to our church and asking that the new facility would be used to honor Him. Then, on the count of three, everyone simultaneously pierced the ground. With this experience, we all shared in beginning to build a legacy!Enjoy the pictures in the sidebar, or click here to see the pictures full-size in a slideshow!

- Pursuing a part time Praise and Worship Leader (search committee being formed)
Obtain Financing options for the building:
- Three proposals in hand to be evaluated closer over the next few months
