There's so much going on with 6:22... here's an update for you.

As most of you know, 6:22 now has a physical home called the Boiler Room in Uptown Greenville. We had our official grand opening last Thursday, July 2nd - a worship night with 6:22 and the Glorious Unseen. The place was packed and God's presence was strong. Many were crying or on their knees praying. It was HOT, but everyone's perseverance to keep worshiping in the heat was inspiring. Hopefully some photos or videos will surface soon.
Along with our Monday night Bible studies, the space is being used for a 6:22 office, a space for 6:22 band member Ray to teach guitar lessons and a space for Harmony Church's summer prayer gatherings. Next week it will be used as a recording studio for Matthew Lilley, and after Worshipfest it will host weekly 6:22 Friday night worship gatherings! Our hope is that this place will be filled with worship and prayer day & night.

We are working on a Boiler Room web site that will eventually be at greenvilleboileroom.com. In the meantime, if you want some more details on the history and vision for the Boiler Room, please read the following document: http://www.622ministries.org/boilerroom.pdf

Along with the awesome privilege of having our own space, we have added responsibility, most notably financially. Although the first year's rent has been covered, we now have to think about utility bills and toilet paper! Please consider becoming a monthly 6:22 partner to help us cover the costs. Even a small monthly committment helps us tremendously!

Along with ongoing costs, we have two major one-time needs that we want to have before we start Friday night meetings on August 14:

1. HVAC system. As we discovered Thursday night, window AC units just won't cut it when we have a large crowd (we had four window units going full blast all day). We need central heat/air, which will cost around $6000-7000, and our landlord will not cover these costs. There is a chance for us to get a system donated, so PLEASE PRAY!
2. PA System. Despite what many people think, 6:22 does not have its own sound system. We have had amazing people like John Lance or Youthquake who have let us borrow their systems for previous events. We do have microphones, but we need everything else - speakers, amps, sound board, snake, FX. We have a potential sound board that we can borrow temporarily, but we really need to get some speakers for the space. Please pray or consider making a one-time gift to 6:22.
   

For the first time 6:22 is taking the summer to host a weekly Bible study on Monday nights. Since May we have been learning about King David's tent by studying one of 6:22's Core Values each week (a list of values can be found on the purpose page of our web site). We will be meeting every Monday night through August 3. We gather to eat a pot-luck meal together at 6pm, then have a time of prayer and Bible study. We are usually done around 8-8:30. We are meeting at the Boiler Room (220 E. 5th St, Uptown Greenville). Please come join us any time!
