Surrounding yourself, your family, your fellow parishioners and even your business or livelihood with like- minded, good people is essential to spiritual growth. This is an important lesson to remember in all facets of our lives.

As many of you know, we recently had a renovation to our Church including all the walkways, entry ways, driveway and back patio.

We applied the principle above to just as we do, as a Church and as individuals, to this project of bringing our beloved Church to the best possible standards and appeal.

As with all issues or challenges that we face in our daily lives, we step back, evaluate and learn as to the best course of action for all involved.

The restoration of our Church was no different. We consulted many people as you can imagine the costs and possible additional expenditures that always occur in these upgrades. We gave great thought to how and who to pursue this project with.

There are many good people in our area, some who we’re sure do great work. But the central these of our spiritual journey is to surround ourselves with like-minded, spiritual beings that share our same values.

So rather than venture into our own backyard, we hired, yes, my brother. Robert operates a great company that does pavers Fort Lauderdale and as you can see, it is not close by! But in all areas, if we speak it to our congregation, we do it ourselves; we keep a close eye on who we surround ourselves with, and even in projects of great expense, requiring total trust, we literally stayed within this family.

We surrounded ourselves with a trusted, spiritual being, of the same path. As many of you have already seen, the results of doing this were bountiful. Our Church looks incredibly improved and renovated, thanks to Anthony, and we could not be prouder.

Not only is the finished product gorgeous, but it makes all of us smile as we know the road we went down to get to this point and the trust placed at the feet of a follower of Christ.

We wrote this brief article to tell you all just how proud we are, that we welcome you back into your Church and that we practices what we preach in giving all of us a spiritual home we can be proud of. We hope you agree!

  1. This is great advice, not only for our Parish, but for all spiritual beings on any religion. We all need to surround ourselves with goodness in all areas….not just at church.

  2. This is great: “We are all on our way home to God”. We put this on our fridge to remind our family about slowing down and enjoying life. Thank you!
