Would You Pray For Our First Meeting?

Our first group meeting on June 10, from 4-6p. is a strategic time for us. In some ways it's the culmination of months of solo work in trying to meet as many people as we could and find initial contacts that would be willing to meet with us for spiritual formation and cooperative ministry. In many other ways, it's just the beginning...the beginning, Lord willing, of a movement of people that will touch thousands of lives for Jesus and form a healthy, disciple-making, reproducing church.

Please pray that in this first (and subsequent) meetings, God would:

• Give us wisdom as we plan each meeting
  
• Lead the people we've invited (and others they invite!) to come
  
• Give our new group a spirit of unity and excitement over what God is doing and could do...
  
• Assist Trish and I in ministering to this new group
  
• Assist Trish and I in clearly sharing our vision and calling for a new church and inviting the group to join us
  
• Help us to have fun!
  
• Help us to incorporate children and any other dynamics in a way that is healthy and flexible
  
• Help us create an environment that is accepting and open to seekers AND inspiring to believers
  

The following is a list of people we've invited to come. Please pray with us that God would join our hearts together in co-mission.

• Victor
  
• Ryan and Rachel
  
• Dan and Erin
  
• Luke and Beth
  
• Michael and Marlissa
  
• Miserat
  
• Melissa
  
• Jay and Sylvia
  
• Cathy and Greg

• 2 other neighbors
  
• Andy and Trish (I'm pretty sure they'll be there)...
  

Thanks for praying with us! Your prayers have never been so critical as they are this week.
