Back to blogging

It's my favorite time of year, for a couple of reasons...

1. The weather is PERFECT. Sunny and 65, I'd take that all year long.
2. Sports
3. Leaves changing colors.
4. Sports

These are exciting times for me. And they're exciting times for our new church as well. I realize that I have not blogged consistently for nearly 7 weeks now, but it is definitely time for some updates for those of you who have followed this journey.

-Kelly had a very productive meeting with Ray Van Camp on Friday, and learned about some potentially exciting partnership possibilities that may come to fruition very soon. Ray was also very helpful in detailing the "legal" process for us in becoming a REAL CHURCH! We're now set to move along that process, having had our questions answered. Pray that we can now move along this process confidently and enthusiastically.
-We found a children's minister! Her name is Meghan and we are SO thankful for her. She's a freshman at Georgetown College, and seems to have such a sweet spirit and love for children. She also has some really good ideas about teaching the Bible to our kids on Wednesday nights. Pray that she is patient with our kids as they get used to a new face on Wednesday nights and a different "structure".
-We have a great opportunity to be involved in the community on the 21st of October. We'll be participating in the Canine Olympics, where we'll have a booth with information about the church, passing out doggie bandanas, and I'll be doing a prayer for the animals. It not only sounds like a lot of fun, it also sounds like a great way to meet people and "get out there" as a church. Pray for good weather and a lot of opportunities to meet people.
-We are having a prayer/communion gathering Wednesday night. Great idea, Carrie! I'm excited about spending time in deep prayer, individually and corporately, and sharing our first communion as a church. It will be such a special time.
-We are prayerfully considering other partnerships as well with churches that share our passion and vision for ministry. Pray that God will make it clear to all parties whether a partnership will be mutually beneficial and pleasing to Him.

Lots of things happening. Please pray for us as we take some big steps soon!

In Christ, TP
