The "Big Give" Comes To The New Albany Area

Be praying this Saturday... A group of young adults from the Driven Conference are going to be coming over to the New Albany area for the "Big Give". In a nut shell, each participant will be given $10, grouped into teams of five, and each team will be challenged to invest their collective $50 to impact as many people and make as many contacts for ClearView as they can.

Pray for great experiences for each participant and that God would lead them to bless people in Jesus' name in our community. Pray for positive contacts for ClearView.

ClearView At Creekside!

Gahanna's Creekside Blues and Jazz Festival is Gahanna's largest annual event with an estimated 50,000 people enjoying great music, food, and vendors throughout the third weekend in June. I'd been praying about how to be involved and communicate about ClearView with this huge audience. God answered this prayer when I found out about the Gahanna Area Chamber of Commerce's Business To Consumer Expo. held this past Saturday afternoon from 12-6p.

ClearView set up a booth and had a great time interacting with hundreds of people. I was able to meet and communicate about ClearView with many people and connect with some previous contacts. There was great excitement among several people about a new church in the area and God allowed me to talk with several families that are looking for a church. It was thrilling to be able to invite people to the YMCA for our first gathering there on July 6th. I'm hoping this will enhance our ability to attract people and be able to connect with people for the first time.

Of special note: God gave me the opportunity to further our relationship with the Chamber's leadership team by sharing our helium tanks with them.

Please pray that God leads these contacts to check out one of our gatherings and join our team. Thanks!

New High!

Praise God for 25 people at ClearView's worship gathering (in our home) on 6/1!

Please pray for our group as we have our first official Launch Team planning meeting next Sunday 6/8. We're excited to communicate vision, share our strategy/process, invite involvement, and get input from our group on strategic decisions we must make in coming months as we move toward a "Grand Opening" this October. Pray for each family to be able to attend and other guests to come and just check out what we're doing.
