Text Box: What is Happening?          We are about to explode! Our small storefront location in downtown Asheville has been growing. We can fit approximately 55 people there but not very comfortably, partially because we don’t like to sit!              We love to worship with dance, prostrate positions, banners, flags, and shofars. Our current space simply does not allow the room to worship the way we desire and the way the Lord says we can. So we need more room. We asked the Lord, through prayer, to show us if this was His will. A friend of Melody’s past called us out of the blue from Tampa a couple of months back. He said one of his clients had just placed an offer on a church in west Asheville and wanted to know if there was an organization that needed to use a building for a while. Of course!              Now we have made arrangements to use the gymnasium part of a Catholic parish that will hold 200 people, several classrooms for nursery and youth, a kitchen, and plenty of headroom and floor space for open banner worship and physically moving around.              Starting May 7, we will begin our 3:00pm Sunday worship gatherings in the new facility. We hope everyone will invite someone, bring the kids, and bring your ultimate worship.              We will also be looking for those people who are called to minister to the youth, to the very young ones, and to help in the set up and break down every Sunday. We also look forward to having personal ministry time, intense teaching, and afterwards — good old fashion fellowship.                Please call us and sign up to serve! This is a time for everyone to take a part in your fellowship and worship in a practical way as well as a spiritual one.

The training will include worship, teaching, personal ministry time, and will be held @ Soteria 89 Patton Ave in downtown Asheville. All are welcome.       “Ministering Spiritual Gifts”— Our basic training for the prophetic and all ministry gifts for equipping the saints to do the work of the ministry will be starting again late spring.
