Roof and Classroom Update
We would like to thank you all for your patience throughout the summer and into the fall with the work on the building. The majority of our roof has been replaced with an added slope to help with drainage, and our electrical and gas lines on the roof have been replaced and brought up to code. Our roof work is complete, aside from a small project at the front of the building and a little bit of touch up work here and there. As you have probably no-ticed, work has begun in the rooms by the back hallway of the family center for remediation and repair of the damage caused by our leaking roof prior to its being replaced. We ran into some delays and ended up with more dam-age in the classrooms than we previously anticipated so the project is going a bit longer than we initially planned. We are expecting this project to be completed within the next couple weeks. Even though we ended up with more repairs than initially expected, thanks to contingency planning within our budget and Don Peterson’s great negotiating skills, we are still expecting this project to come in a little bit under budget. One decision we made in order to help stay within our budget is to have the contractors leave the re-pairs unpainted. After everything is completed by the contractors, we will have a work day for our members to come and help us paint the affected ar-eas. We will start making announcements and getting the word out after the repairs are finished, so please be on the lookout for your opportunity to as-sist with this project.
Thank you again to everyone who donated time and money for this project, and thank you in advance to those who will be volunteering for “Sunset Paintapalooza.” It is so exciting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on this major project!

Announcements
To Become Wise, Spend Time with Wise People
“Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer” (Proverbs 13:20 NCV).
Have you ever heard the old phrase, “If you want to soar with the eagles, you can’t run with the tur-
keys”?
If you’re going to be wise, you’ve got to get some wise people in your life.
You don’t need a lot of friends in life. You don’t need to be popular. You just need a few good friends who build you up, not tear you down, who are wise, not fools. If you hang around with fools, that’s what you become.
We always grow in community. You cannot grow to spiritual maturity by yourself. You could become a monk and move to the top of a mountain and spend your life in silence and reading books. You would grow in knowledge, but you wouldn’t grow in wisdom.
Why? Because wisdom is all about love. Wisdom shows up primarily in relationships. That’s why a lot of people have edu-cational degrees, but their marriages are falling apart. They’re educated, but they’re not wise.
The Bible says in Proverbs 13:20, “Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suf-fer” (NCV).
If I stand on the edge of a stage, and I’m trying to pull you up while you’re trying to pull me down, which is easier to do? It’s always easier for somebody to pull you down than pull you up. People who pull you down are not your friends. Friends pull you up. Friends encourage you in your pursuit of godly wisdom by offering their own.
Do you have anybody in your life who is giving input for good on a regular basis? You need that kind of encourage-ment in your life if you want to be a wise person.
Who are the people who are closest to you?
How are those people encouraging you in spiritual growth and wisdom? Or, how are they distracting you from learn-ing to live wisely?
Is it more important to you to have a lot of friends or a few, deep relationships? Why do you think this is so?
