&ldquo;I rejoiced when they said to me, &lsquo;Let us go into the house of the Lord.&rdquo;&ldquo;But as for me, by the multitude of Your mercy I will enter into Your house; I will worship toward Your holy temple in fear of You.&rdquo; With great joy, the Church of St. Mary of Egypt &amp; St. Timothy the Apostle in Freehold, New Jersey requests your prayers to the Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ, in the coming days, that He may complete His work and be glorified in the accomplishment of purchasing a 29-acre piece of land in Millstone, NJ. Just as the Lord, in all His glory, previously made possible the purchases of St. Mary&rsquo;s Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, St. Mary and St. George Church in Albany, New York, and St. Abraam&rsquo;s Church in Woodbury (Long Island), New York, we have witnessed the work of the Lord and the work of the Holy Spirit in establishing these churches as altars for the Lord.&nbsp;&ldquo;For unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.&rdquo; And at this time, by the grace of our Philanthropic Lord and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who enlightens our path and grants us vision to accomplish the will of God, we are moving forward to purchase the 29-acre land to be used for building a church and some service buildings and spiritual activity centers for the sons and daughters of the Church and for the elderly. The total amount required is $3,200,000, of which $800,000 is currently available, leaving a remaining amount of $2,400,000. As we live a life of prayer during these holy days of fasting, we lift up our hearts to You, O God the Good Shepherd, asking that You help us complete this work and enlighten our minds so that we may walk worthy of the calling with which we were called. Let us all hasten to contribute to this blessed work, which requires the participation of all spiritual efforts through prayer, financial contributions, or interest-free loans to be repaid later, each according to his own. And we say with faith, &lsquo;From His hand we have given to Him,&rsquo; and &lsquo;God loves a cheerful giver.&rsquo; May God bless this project through the intercessions and prayers of the Holy Theotokos St. Mary, St. Timothy, the Apostle, St. Mary of Egypt, His Holiness our beloved Patriarch, Pope Tawadros II, and his partner in the apostolic liturgy, our beloved father, His Grace Bishop Gabriel, Papal Vicar of New Jersey.&nbsp; May your love and prayers continue, and may God bless your offerings. Pray for me,Fr. Michael TobiaHegumen, St. Mary of Egypt &amp; St. Timothy Coptic Orthodox Church
