On behalf of the Central Brevard Sharing Center: Thanks so much for the wonderful food drive. The items donated helped us fill the gaps in our food pantry. We simply can’t do our mission without the support from our community. This was a great example of how CCM Viera can make a difference in the lives of others! Especially during these difficult economical times. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Great job CCMV!
As many of you know, we have been praying since Saturday for our Student Ministry as they left for Peru. I received information this morning that they are doing well and are busy doing ministry. Continue to pray for Kevin and the team as they serve, evangelize and reach out to the people there. They will be traveling back home the first of next week and we can’t wait to hear how they were used of God!
Now if your a music buff you recognize those words from a very popular song. But their not just words, they can be reality. A few moments ago I opened an email and those words came screaming out of it. Let me explain. We have been in the planning process for our sign to go at the new location. Along with planning, as always, we have been praying. Our prayers have been that the powers that be would allow us a larger sign than the standard that Viera has in it’s regulations since we sit so far off the road. Surely GOD would move the heart of the king since it is in His hands, right? Wrong! See, even with God, you don’t always get what you want. So we go back to the drawing board and when it is all said and done, we’ll get just what GOD wants us to have and that is just fine by me!
How long have we waited? In a city where you can find great restaraunts, all kinds of shopping, the best golfing and some of the finest fitness centers around —- there are NO BOOKSTORES for those looking for spiritual resources. Well that is about to change. Our bookstore manager Rachel Savage and her team is about to launch Viera’s first Christian bookstore. Imagine, books by the hundreds of the best authors, music downloadable right to your ipod, great gifts for your family, Pastor Mark’s sermons and best of all, a kind and courteous staff just waiting to help you make the most of your visit to their store. Viera just keeps getting better and better!
I was once again reminded yesterday as the email came across my desk that once again, the body here at CCMV has effected this community in the name of Christ. Our very first “Blood Drive” resulted in enough blood given to save the lives of over 75 people should it be needed. This past weekend to see families carrying in plastic bags of can goods and other non-perishable food so that the Central Brevard Sharing Center can continue meeting the needs of hundreds of families here in Central Brevard. You do it, not for a church, not for a pastor, but as the hands of God reaching out cold cups of water to those who are thirsting. Your acts of God inspire me.
I can’t tell you how many times over the past few weeks that I have heard conversations and discussions about the colors on the new building. It almost reminds me of my early days of ministry where everyone in the church had a say as to what the color of the carpet was going to be. Relax! What we have chosen will look very nice when it is all said and done. For those of you who just loved the “Barbie Pink” on the front, it was a bad batch of paint and is being repainted to the right color. Let’s not forget how blessed we are.
This is the launch of the new Viera Campus Blog. This is only the beginning. There will be many photos, articles, and more in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to sea and hear the latest about what is happening with the new building. Look forward to hearing directly from your campus staff!
