Great Discussion On Mission

I was pumped after our gathering at ClearView this past Sunday, 2/22. Several aspects excited my heart:
  1. Numbers aren't the most important thing...but they are important. With only 1 guest, we had 38 in attendance. It's amazing to believe that last year at this time we were basically two families (about six people) and now we're close to 15 family units attending regularly. It's fun to think that when everyone is there we're right around 40 people.
  2. We had a fabulous discussion on the theme of mission. We looked at Luke 5:17-26 where 4 faith-filled friends broke through a roof to lower their paralyzed friend to what he needed most: Jesus. We used this passage as a foundation for a pivotal discussion on the challenges each of us face in our personal mission endeavors and the opportunities that we have to help each other in our most important task...leading our friends to what they need most: Jesus.
  3. Our group dynamics are healthy. Our people enjoy being together, are deepening relationships with one another, and share freely in group gatherings. It is fun to see our team gelling and uniting together around the purpose of loving people to a clear view of Jesus and mission.
Thanks for praying for the development of our team. Please continue!
