And the Glory of the Lord Filled the Temple
2 Chronicles 6 and 7

Dr. Kelly B. Burton

It was to God’s honor ten years ago that we built our current Family Life Center. On May 31, we celebrated the Grand Opening. Just as important, on Sunday May 19, 2024, we celebrated the early payoff of that building with a note burning service. Today is another day to remember in the life of FBCA. Today we celebrate the Grand Opening of five new classrooms and two large rooms for the FBCA Students to worship and learn about our great God and King. There was a day to remember in the Bible. It is found in 2 Chronicles 6 and 7. I am speaking of the completion and Dedication of God’s Temple in Jerusalem.
