Prayer for Stadium Villiage Church, Minneapolis

We recieved the following email from Kathleen Mocasko and Lowell Busman, the pastors at Stadium Villiage Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis.  The church has a substantial college ministry being so close the University of Minnesota.  Please keep Stadium Villiage in your prayers.

Dear Friends and Family of Stadium Village Church, 
Perhaps you have heard about the main water break outside our church nursery facing Oak St. during the wee hours of Feb. 27. After the 7 firetrucks left and the 2 small pumps finished their 6 hrs of pumping, Service Master cleaners moved in.  
Water was touching the ceilings of the house and church basements (ie all furnaces and hot water heaters and storage items), tunnel between house and church bldgs, 5 ft in the kitchen and commons dining and the nursery floor is buckled with hole under foundation. 

ALL our equipment except Sanctuary sound and office copier is destroyed, including all kitchen appliances & products, books, bells, piano, toys, food for Kids Against Hunger & thousands of meals. Somethings can be restored.
The day before, we had begun a different way of praying for Lent. We praised and thanked God for His provisions, rather than asking.  
Sun. morning three early attenders each said they had dreams relating to the church, floods or rebuilding!  One Korean woman who dreamt she was in a flood had not yet heard the news. 
The sermon planned weeks before was about the Goodness of God in all circumstances: God is in Everything.

 

We worship a creative and providing God. 
We have heard that you are praying for us at SVC. We thank you so much and ask that you would continue to  PRAISE  and THANK GOD for our Ministry and for his  wisdom and provision in the many decisions we must make.  
 We want to finish the race with a building that can serve future generations of University students, families, and those who understand the importance of touching American and International students’ lives. 
Thank you!  We bless you too!

Your Brothers and Sisters in Christ at Stadium Village Church and Pastor Kathleen Macosko and Pastor Lowell Busman
