Block Party a Success!

We're praising God for answering prayer and working in a big way during our block party on August 18. We met new people and deepened relationships (and hopefully trust) with existing contacts in our neighborhood. Almost 50 people showed up from 14 households. Everyone seemed to have a great time and enjoyed great food, getting to know one another, and playing some yard games.

Thanks for praying! Here are some answers to prayer:

• We met one new family.
  
• Several families came to the party that have not responded to other invitations we have given them.
  
• People enjoyed connecting with others they hadn't met before.
  
• Several missional believers helped us by cooking and inviting others to come.
  
• Our patio, poured by a friend on August 11, was ready to go and was a super tool for entertaining a large group.
  
• We were able to invite several people to our spiritual formation group and discuss our work of beginning a new church with others.
  
• God brought out 14 families even though only 4 R.S.V.P.d.
  

Thanks, Lord! Please continue to pray with us that God will work in our neighborhood and draw people to Himself. We'd love the privilege of continuing to be used as a light for Jesus in Asbury Ridge (our subdivision).
