well...having recently concluded a lengthy summary blog of our church's humble beginnings with the announcement that we will be meeting in a new location and moving from a sort of home-church-planning-status to technically "launching" our new church, um... i sit poised at my computer with anticipation in my heart and creative wording for this blog on the tip of my tongue...but, i feel my heart simply wanting to say:
concerning our new church...there are not bells and whistles as we open this new door/new location... just some acoustic instruments and soft lighting. our hearts' desires are simply to have a place and time for friends (and new friends of friends that will become our friends) to come and spend time in the middle of their busy weeks to be challenged to take a moment to pause and think about a Savior whose love for us is so enormous that it can change the way we think about everything and replace anxiety with peace...and to be about planning organized events to share this love in our community and beyond. that's what our church is about. and why i'm writing this blog. and why we are renovating our barn to accomodate. we will be meeting in "ekklesia place" beginning on wednesdays at 7...(ekklesia place is the reid barn/rec center...if you need directions, please msg me or call!)
from my heart, scott and i sooooo want to help others find the peace that we know... and to find the purpose in life that fills our hearts with hope and find the mission that God has called them to. our chosen phrase to sum up ekklesia is "find peace. purpose. mission." this is in our hearts...and we want to begin this "church" with this simple cause.
please come. if you are reading this, we want you to feel personally invited. we love you because Christ's love is in our being for you. looking forward to tomorrow (our first wednesday meeting in ekklesia place!)
