Yesterday, Alameda hosted a grand opening of our newly renovated auditorium for our community, friends, neighbors, and former members who came in for the occasion. It was a great day!
The construction of our facility was done by ScissorTail Roofing and Construction and these pictures of our new space were taken by Reed Ewing Photography…
We concluded our celebration service by reading 1 Kings 8:56-61, which is Solomon’s prayer of dedication for the temple:
56 “Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 57 May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us. 58 May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in obedience to him and keep the commands, decrees and laws he gave our ancestors. 59 And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that he may uphold the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel according to each day’s need, 60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other. 61 And may your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”
Amen.
