I am really disappointed in the City of Mascoutah's City Council this week lead by Mayor Jerry Daugherty. After months of preparation and planning by the leadership team here at Victory, the Mascoutah City Council voted unanimously Monday evening to deny the erection of our new Sprung Structure which was to be our new worship center here at Victory Church. The reason was they disapproved the aesthetics of the structure and density (meaning a plane could crash on our property, therefore no structure could be built). Sad!
We really had great goals and high aspirations for this new structure and how it would enhance our ministry to the growing community of Mascoutah. Please pray for our leadership team as we draw up "Plan B" for the future ministry and outreach of Victory Church.
Jon,
I am really sorry to hear about that. I will be praying for your leadership team and you as you move to plan B. I was really hoping to see how the Sprung structure worked out for you guys. Let me know how I can pray for you all.

Thanks Jason for your prayers. We know we have to do something because we cannot continue in our current facility...there's just not enough room. Thanks again!

Pastor Jon,
Have you ever thought about running for political office? Maybe Mayor?
You are doing amazing things in Mascoutah brother the proof is in the growth of your church. God is with you and with Victory, He will guide you and He will provide.
As always, you and your church are in my prayers.
Your Brother Always, Jerry

Hi Jerry,
It's good to hear from you! How's Hawaii? Wait, I already know the answer...it's great! Thanks for your comments and no, I have not thought of running for mayor...hmmm?...now you've got me to thinking! haha. Seriously, the Lord is blessing and I know He has a plan. The suspense is killing me! Thanks Jerry for your prayers.
Jon

"Mayor Cannon", has a nice ring to it. You should think about it or a least a seat on the city counsel. Counselman Jon Cannon, hmmmm?
