A Possibility

Ken and Drew got home late last night from speaking at Cedar Hill Baptist Church in Cleveland Heights. Their pastor took a church in Columbus last August so Ken has done some pulpit supply there over the past several months. Some of the families there would like Ken to work with them to get their church back on its feet. There is good potential and they have a good building in a good location. They also could be very helpful to us in getting the church plant going in downtown as well.

Ken and Drew rode around with Judy on Saturday looking at houses in Euclid, East Cleveland, Mayfield Heights, and Lyndhurst. The Lyndhurst house reminds Ken of our little farm house in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. It has plaster and lathe walls, was built around 1900, has creaky stairs, mis-matched ceiling tiles, but it also has 5 bedrooms, a fireplace, garage, finishable basement, two full baths, air, decent yard with space for a garden and trampoline, a street we would be safe to walk or ride our bikes, a nice front porch to hang plants and a swing, and it is bank-owned so the price could be reasonable. Our next step will be to place an offer. Our friends at Cedar Hill think that Lyndhurst is a good area which is encouraging since they have lived in Cleveland their whole lives.
