January 28, 2016 – January Update
Lauren has invited many of the women she has met through preschool, play ground visits and networking events to look into the essentials of the Christian faith tonight.
We had our last official info meeting this past Sunday.
This picture is a small but very important win… To receive this card from our friends after digging out their drive way with my handy new snow blower was a sweet affirmation of God's work in our lives. February 18, 2016 – Valentines Favors
Last Friday, Lauren had 13 women over for a Valentines Ladies' party. Lauren had only met three of these women one time... last SEPTEMBER. But they still came…
Bob Marley isn’t usually where I find my inspiration, but his quote captures one of the fundamental values of our church - living for others.
Pray the Lord will give us "the red barn." (Yes, for those of you who know my upbringing this does show the Lord's sense of humor.) February 29, 2016 – Does God Care if I Party
Tonight, Milas and Ashley will host their first "What's up?" event on campus. We planned this and picked the topic three months ago… Please pray that tonight the God of life would confront these students’ false gods and false beliefs and reveal His life-giving and loving character. March 21, 2016 – Prayer Specifics
A few weeks back I asked you to pray 3 very specific things. 1) for a worship leader 2) for 3 new families to want to be in our start team 3) for clarity on the right facility that will help us proclaim the love of Christ to this town Over the last four weeks we have seen embryonic answers to each one of these prayers.
April 8, 2016 – April Showers
This is how we hope to say hello.
Though it is a race to glory, this weekend away is different then this movie. 18 of us will spend the weekend away just being together - learning to love and serve together as we prepare to love and serve our community. April 26, 2016 – Coworking for Christ
"A Catholic tends to believe this: Faith + Works = Salvation. A Protestant would express their belief this way: Faith = Salvation + Works. This understanding causes you to live for God not trying to earn his love but as a response to the love he has already given you."
Over the last 2 months we have connected with a small group of business owners who want to rent a space together and share the cost. This concept of coworking is increasingly growing across the country.
Here is the crew that came with us for the Get Away weekend. May 16, 2016 – Prayers for Staff Training and Progress with Coworking Facility
You have probably seen statistics like this. News outlets and magazines and bloggers and spiritual gurus like the Dali Lama himself are arguing for a spiritual life beyond the bounds of religion.
Our space won't look quite this cool, but this is what we are going for.
Sometimes this church-planting journey has felt like a sprint downhill, where it would be harder to stop then keep going forward. But other days, like the last 6 weeks, it feels like an uphill climb through a thick and slippery mud.
