At this particular time in history, it is a great blessing to be a part of the growth of the Church here in the Upper Valley. This is a turning point that will be remembered for generations to come. Salomon says, "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build" (Psalm 127).  It is the Lord constructing his house through your hands and mine. It is the Lord that will continue using whoever he wants to be part of his project to build a house for his honor and glory. The psalmist reminds us that it is the Lord himself who is the builder. With the Lord’s help we are marching forward to build a structure that is truly the “HOUSE OF GOD AND THE GATE TO HEAVEN.”

En este momento particular de la historia, es una gran bendición ser parte del crecimiento de la Iglesia aquí en Valle.  Este es un punto de inflexión que será recordado por las generaciones venideras. Salomón dice: "si el Señor no construye la casa en vano se cansan los albañiles" (Salmo 127). Es el Señor que construye su casa con tus manos y las mías. Es el Señor el que seguirá utilizando a quien quiera para que forme parte de su proyecto de construir una casa para su honor y gloria. El salmista nos recuerda que el mismo Señor es el constructor. Con la ayuda del Señor, avanzamos para construir una estructura que sea verdaderamente la "CASA DE DIOS Y LA PUERTA AL CIELO".
