As we were preparing ourselves, we looked up a bunch of scriptures pertaining to things like building, future, foundation, etc. By the time we were finished, the kids had a very tough time narrowing it down. "There are so many good ones!" Amen! They each chose two.
Notice that Ben had to write a little commentary at the top of each of his to show how they pertained to our building project.
Bethany started remembering verses she had learned in AWANA and VBS, so she had to tack on one of those.
Really, could there be a more thrilling thing for a mom to watch? Not this mom.My verse:
I like the thought that we are BEING BUILT rather than DOING the building. It's God's job!
Lee's verse:
This verse was my favorite new discovery:
Just another reason why I love my church family!

Sure puts a lot of things into perspective when you are able to sit back and see the amazing things the Lord is doing/has done, not only in a tangible thing, such as a new building, but also in the hearts of the believer, as they search for scripture! Very encouraging!
I was sorry to miss this. It seems all the cool stuff happens on the third week! Maybe I'll have a verse of my own to add on Tuesday (while I'm there for a finance meeting - ha).
You definitely should, Melissa!
Ooooh! I love this idea!! Love these verses ... so much love, inspiration, encouragement, exhortation, wisdom in that Word of God, eh? :-)
I loved this post. What a great idea to put Bible verses on the foundations. What a lovely day for your church.
I love all those verses. That is an awesome idea. Great pictures that will bring wonderful memories.
This will be a day you and your children won't forget. I know one day they will tell their kids how they wrote on the foundation of the church their favorite scripture verses. I know your Momma Heart was full that day.
What great verses you all chose.
I'm so happy for you all and your new sanctuary.

What an awesome thing to do!
Steve would love Ben's commentary. Whenever kids recite verses, he always asks them to tell him what the verse means.
I like the Hosea too. Lots.
I don't know how I missed this post - but today it jumped onto my screen! I love this! I love this concept - I love the verses, all so unique yet all coming together for the same purpose. Who says the Bible isn't relevant?
I'm sure the whole experience was awesome! The hair on the back of my neck stood up just reading about it!
