“God just keeps on getting gooder and gooder”

Dick Barr 1995

Back in 1995 Dick Barr, invited a group of Christian men to a Saturday fellowship and Bible Study held in a converted storeroom at his auto electric business.  They had joined together for coffee, prayer and a time of teaching.  They met around four folding tables and an old sofa and chair at the back of the room.  At first there were 10 then 20 then 30 men regularly attending the group.  They were rapidly growing beyond the capacity of their meeting space.

So Dick, looked to a piece a land where he was planning to build a house for his retirement. On this site Dick and some friends built a new and larger meeting place.  It started out to be an enclosed picnic shelter.  However, it was quicly changed into a full building with kitchen and rest room.  It became “The Lighthouse Fellowship” because of the addition working lighthouse beacon on its roof).

Later additions to the building included a women’s rest room and storeroom.  The front porch was later enclosed to  act as a serving area for the coffee and doughnuts. And we are still growing!

But I will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.  So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you?

Psalm 71:14-19 ESV
