Journey to the Center of the Universe - Ch. 10

" . . . and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
We have been calling it a journey. Hebrews calls it a race. It is good to remember that, even if we don't know the very next step, we do know that He has marked it out for us. We keep taking steps toward planting a church. Don't let the gap between chapter 9 and chapter 10 fool you. Much has been happening, even if the blog journals haven't been. For example,
  • The chuch plant presentation at the Ministry Fair
  • The East Hills Dumpster Day (neigborhood cleanup)
  • Congress School Clothing Drive
  • Creation of the Wealthy Initiative Brochure
  • East Hills Council of Neighbors Board Meetings
  • Congress School PTCG Meetings
  • Steve's study, study, more study, and licensing
  • Winterizing Congress (pass the word)
  • Uptown Holiday Hop
  • Sunday night Journey Meetings
  • Lots of prayer
The Christ Church Session is proposing a budget that will be presented on Dec 10. This budget includes a big green light for the church plant. Even though, we have faced some financial struggles and are making some budget cuts, the church plant remains a top priority. On Dec 10 we will be updating the congregation on the state of the plant, giving us another opportunity to "ignite the fire".

Keep making friends in greater East Hills. Keep making a list of your rich relatives. Keep praying that God would form his church. NEXT MEETING - DECEMBER 14, 5:30pm, including Pot Luck.

OK, Jerry, I agree. This church needs a name.
