#HolyGravel

A local gravel company had decided to donate the gravel needed to fill a two foot deep pit before the concrete foundation could be poured for the pavilion. The church had decided to construct a pavilion in the back yard that could be used for cook-outs and VBS and all sorts of celebrations. The digging started and when the two foot level was reached, it was found that the ground at that level was still not right. The gravel company agreed to provide two more feet of gravel. The digging went on down to four feet and that is when the gravel company said, whoa, we cannot provide that much.

Another local gravel company found out about the dilemma the church was in and volunteered to provide all that was needed. The digging went on down to eight feet before solid rock could be found. All the church had to do was provide trucks to carry the eight feel of free gravel and the foundation could be poured. Of course, the trucks were found and the free gravel was dumped into the pit. The construction began. Men from the church lent their hands to help in all sorts of ways.

Shortly after the pavilion was finished, the first gravel company, not to be out done, donated $10,000.00 to the church! There would be funds available to build picnic tables and benches for the gatherings. All this gravel became Holy! It was dedicated to the Lord and the pavilion rests on it. May God bless both of these gravel companies for their willingness to donate gravel and funds to  complete the project.

The first service to be held in this pavilion will be Easter Sunday morning at 8:30 with breakfast following.
