Saturday Comes After Friday

Last night was our last Friday night group.  It was also are last time to meet as a house church. We had 39 people there, our largest group yet.  We did spiritual gifts tests and talked about how we are all part of the body of Christ.  Paul said it best, if we were all eyes, how could we hear.We all have a part to play in this new church plant!  

This coming Saturday we are starting to meet at a charter school just west of town.  I feel really good about the location.  It's on a busy street and there are many neighborhoods within walking distance.  I'm trying to figure out how to serve these neighborhoods.  I don't just want to advertise, I want to serve them. Maybe we'll just make hundreds of cookies and take them around to the neighbors. Maybe.

I want to mention a couple of major praises.  #1.  We've been really blessed to have a couple of great musicians join us at such an early stage in the game. Finding worship leaders can be tricky.  I feel like we're getting an unfair head start.  Thanks Lord.

Secondly, one of our major prayers from day one has been that the Lord would bring us Leaders. We were asking for leaders even before we moved out here.  When we took our gifts test last night, 75-80% of our people had the gifts of administration or leadership.  So amazing!  

Keep praying for us as we move into this next phase.  We are still a ways from launching, but I feel like things are moving right along!
