Glad you asked! We have only gathered twice so far, and though it appears to be a small beginning, I am excited at the prospect of what'all is on God's heart for us as a community. There are several objectives I believe we are to keep ever before us. First of all, in an effort to follow the Biblical pattern of Acts 2 as a Biblical Community, we need to be "God-Focused & Others-Oriented." Practically that means we are headed in the direction of seeking God and experiencing His Presence, as well as looking for ways to serve people who may be close to God and others who may be far from Him. What this looks like is that once per month we will focus on Worship/Prayer/Presence/Prophetic Insights/Exhortations, etc., and once per month we will focus on others in some sort of disarming relational context.Because you are all adults, our times together will require more and more participation by each one of you. You will be overseeing the worship, and greatly helping with a 'disarming relational context' so that the feel of our relational times together emerge from your generation and not ours(even if the 70's were cool -I heard that snicker Wayne-).
In addition to serving others locally, we are also looking forward to connecting on some short term missions trips. As Erwin McManus says, often our most meaningful relationships are forged as we "serve others with others."
We Love You All So Much,

Im sooooo sooo excited for this group. I cant wait to see what God has in store for us and I cant wait for our group to grow.
Hey just letting people know that the Hillsong Theatrical Release is this Wednesday at 7. It is playing at the Galaxy Theatre in Cornwall. Tickets are a bit pricey, I believe Gabe bought our for $15 each online. The worship team is also planning to go. It should be really sweet!
