Over the last two weeks, we have begun to see some of what has been envisioned in this church plant start to take shape. We have come to describe ourselves as a community dedicated to seeking God first and demonstrating the love of God to those around us. In some way, that has been the guide to what we have done. When we meet, we have intentionally done things that allow us to talk and begin to open up to each other, confident that God would use that to begin to build our community, and our devotions have focused on God and His amazing goodness. Soon, we will begin to look for ways that we can truly love one another and the world around us. I might be biased but I think it has been great. We want to thank all that have been attending and those that have been praying.
This week will be very similar. We are not going to have a full meal but just the desserts. If you have a recipe that you know is completely unhealthy but tastes really good, bring it. We will have coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, and that kind of thing as well. Since we are not having the full dinner, we have decided to wait until 6:30 to meet so you will have time to have a nutritious meal before you come.
The devotion this week will be based around the question, "Have you received your just desserts?" The focal passage will be Romans 3:21-26. Take some time to read this and pray over it. In addition to that, as I said last week, one of the things that we would like to begin to grow towards is hearing from one another about how God is working in each of our lives. Think about how God has shown himself to you this week. There will be no high pressure sharing time and I am not going to twist any arms. But, I have no doubt that soon we will be encouraged to see that it is a blessing to share these things with one another.
Comment on this post so we can know how many people are coming. If you are going to have a child with you, it might be a good idea for us to know that as well.
