ClearView Father's Day Talk

We haven't figured out the best way to podcast the talks at our weekly worship gatherings... so I'll settle for posting the manuscript I spoke off of here. This was a fun message to put together...because it is straight out of my heart on what God is teaching me about being a parent. I'm completely imperfect...but God is shaping me and this talk is what I want to become. I encouraged anyone present that influences children (biological or spiritual) to do the same.

Take a minute and see what you think: 3 Traits Of A Great Parent.

Have Some Fun AND Make An Impact on July 4th!

Just wanted to let you know about a super opportunity to have fun and put a smile on people's faces in New Albany!

ClearView will be assisting the New Albany Events team with the parade on the morning of July 4th and then handing out toys to children along the parade route (10:30a.-Noon). That evening, we'll be serving kids and families at the pre-fireworks festival with free face-painting, colored hair spray, crafts, and balloons (6p.-dusk). Fireworks follow the festival.

Would you be able to help us at the parade? Festival? Both? Please let me know (post a comment here or e-mail: andy@clearviewgrace.com)- I'd be glad to get you more details...and I have a free t-shirt with your name on it for helping!

Want To Know What We're Up To This Summer?

On June 14, I shared my heart with our group in our worship gathering. God laid some specific things on my heart that I feel we should be concerned with this summer. When you have a moment, take a look, and pray with us for God's great movement. Thanks!

Fun Way To End The Year

We got a whim early last week- it was something like- "Let's host an end of year celebration party" for Seth's Kindergarten friends. So, we put together a list of every kindergartner we know- neighborhood, kids I've coached in the past, Seth's class, etc. and invited them to a party at our house last Friday evening. We want to try and create opportunities to expand our friendships with people and serve people in whatever way we can. The end of a great year seemed like a good gathering point.

It was a fun evening! About 10 families came out...almost 40 people. We did a cookout, played some games, and ended the evening with some Sm ores. It was so fun to see all the kids playing together, mostly classmates, and parents connecting. God is good and has blessed us with the opportunity to get to know some great people in our community!

We Have A Graduate!

Last week, Seth "graduated" from Kindergarten. His class was part of a multi-class performance and then they read each graduates name and the teachers gave out certificates to each child. The ceremony was followed by a reception for kids and parents in Seth's classroom. It was really fun for us to celebrate this milestone with Seth.

We have much to be thankful for in Seth's first year in New Albany schools. He had a good, safe year of learning and social growth. In God's perfect sovereignty, He provided a GREAT teacher for Seth who, as it turns out, grew up in a sister church of ours. She cared for Seth well and brought the best out of him. God also gave Seth some great friends. It has been fun to watch him develop relationships with his classmates, and especially three other boys that have been affectionately dubbed "the posse". We have enjoyed connecting with the parents of children in Seth's class at birthday parties and school functions.

As we look back on it, sending Seth to public school was a real tension point for us. We want him to grow up knowing how to build relationships with diverse people of any faith. We also want him to have the foundation of a biblical worldview. Anyone that parents with these values knows the tension of how to balance what happens at home, with school, with church, etc. to do the best you can as a parent to produce a kid that loves God and loves people. It is a challenge...maybe one of the greatest as a parent. We know the environments we choose to allow Seth to spend time in are key to his development. All that being said, we are so thankful that God gave him, and us, a great year in Kindergarten.

Founder's Day Weekend A Win!

Please join me in giving a big shout out to God for a great Founder's Day weekend (May 16-17)!

On Saturday, God brought just the right amount of people to hand out over 1,400 frisbees during the parade. Through a great brainstorm from God late last week, we decided to have an impromptu pizza party at our house on Friday night and attach our invite post cards to the frisbees. This allowed us to only hand out one thing instead of two during the parade. Obviously, this cut our labor in half and allowed us to get out all the frisbees sufficiently (without holding up the whole parade). It was fun to see children clamoring for something they wanted- one of our frisbees! This opened the door to give out invites to our Sunday gathering...and more importantly keep communicating to the community that we are here, we care, and we want to be a force for demonstrating the love of Jesus in practical ways.

After the parade, we hosted a booth at the Founder's Day festival. We again sponsored "Chulo" the clown (much to hundreds of children's delight!), painted hundreds of faces, and gave away many balloons. The most important part of this time was numerous positive interactions with people from the New Albany area. ClearView is becoming a fixture at community events...and people are noticing. One man said, "You guys are so community minded, I think that is really neat." A friend of mine commented, "ClearView has sparked some healthy controversy in our church leadership about why we are not more involved in the community." Perhaps God will use us to spark further mission and draw others out to where people are already gathered.

On Sunday, we hosted our May key gathering (a rallying point for our team to work extra hard at inviting guests) around the theme God's Stimulus Package: Real Hope For Turbulent Times. We had a great time together with 55 people in attendance. This is the largest gathering in ClearView's short history. We had great turn out from our team and several guest families. The mood was great, we enjoyed a good time of worship together, and people seemed to respond well to a talk from God's Word based out of Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus talks specifically on worry and how to overcome it through focusing first on God's agenda for our lives.

Specifically, I am thankful to God for:
  • Our ClearView team. These are busy weekends...many of our people gave significant time and even responded on short notice to help us assemble frisbees/invites. They are moving our work forward with less and less dependence on outside help.
  • Friends of ClearView that came to assist- friends from our neighborhood, other local churches, and even the mom of one of Seth's schoolmates! Special thanks to Jen, Emily, and Beth (each came from out of town and painted faces for 5 hours!).
  • Very positive interactions with people along the parade route and at the festival. Each appearance at community events seems to spark deeper interaction with people we've met through various contact making streams- coaching, school involvement (PTO), community events planning, etc.
  • A strong Sunday at ClearView. Our team was encouraged and I believe God was pleased.
Would you keep praying with us for spiritual movement from our involvement in the community? Only God can move someone from parade contact to Christ follower. But, we long to be part of that journey with those God calls. Pray with us for movement...

New Sport, New Team...New Contacts

I've enjoyed watching Seth try something new this week- he started practicing t-ball for the first time. This has given he and I something new to do together. He loves for me to pitch to him while he learns to hit and we've spent much time in the last two weeks tossing the ball back and forth in the back yard. Last Saturday was Seth's first formal practice with the t-ball Athletics of New Albany's Little League. This was a great opportunity for us to meet 7 or 8 families, only one of which we'd ever met before. I'm not coaching this season, so I have the opportunity to hang out on the sidelines and interact with the other parents.

I'm thrilled that Seth is enjoying this new sport, is trying something new, and that we get to spend time working on new skills that both of us enjoy. Also, this is a new outlet for ministry relationships. Pray that God would lead me to spiritually searching people. We're studying Colossians 4 tomorrow at our ClearView gathering- pray Colossians 4:2-5 for me as I interact with the other parents of children on Seth's t-ball team. Thanks!

A Milestone For ClearView...And Our Family

Last Sunday (5/3) was a real joy! ClearView celebrated it's first baptism. We baptized three people...of varying ages and with unique stories of how they came to follow Jesus. It was a thrill for me to see us carrying on an important function as Christ-followers- seeing people publicly express their faith by being immersed in water (meaning of baptism). Baptism is special because it is more than a ceremony or ritual...it is a physical means of obeying Jesus that doubles as a symbol of a powerful spiritual reality- heart transformation!

The first person ever baptized at ClearView is Kayla (13). She is a special young lady that visibly loves Jesus and others. It was a joy to have her family with us to witness this special day. Kayla shared that she was facing some deep challenges in her young life when her mom, Melissa, explained to her about Jesus' love and forgiveness for her. She has been learning to follow Jesus ever since.

Patrick came to know Jesus in his mid thirties. I had lunch with him the week before and was thrilled to hear his story. Patrick is a deep thinker and God used some key friends in his life and the writings of people like C.S.Lewis (Mere Christianity) to answer significant faith questions and lead him to a point where one night, he simply couldn't sleep. Patrick knew he needed Jesus to forgive him and lead his life, so he got up in the middle of the night and cried out to God, inviting Jesus into His heart. Patrick and his wife, Anne, have become an integral part of our ClearView team and family...so it was a joy for me to play a small part in his spiritual journey by baptizing him.

Sunday was also a thrill for Trish and I in that I got to baptize Seth! He has been asking us to be baptized for months. After talking with him more about it and seeing him grasp what it means to be baptized and why we do it, Trish and I decided he was ready to take this step in his spiritual journey. Jesus commended a child-like faith and we see this in Seth. From the perspective of a six-year-old, he fully understands who Jesus is, what Jesus did, his need for Jesus' forgiveness. It was fun to see his faith symbolized by him being baptized and I am so happy that I got to do it! :)

Praise God with us for this good day at ClearView. And, pray with us, that God would continue to shape Kayla, Patrick, and Seth into His followers and ambassadors. Thanks!

Help ClearView Impact People At Founder's Day (May 16)!


Dear Friend,
Thanks for your interest in helping in the development of ClearView Church. God has opened amazing doors for us to be involved in our community. The next opportunity for large-scale contact making is coming fast, New Albany's Founder's Day parade and festival on Saturday, May 16.

I'm looking for people that might be willing to walk in the parade with us, smile, and give out 1,500 logo frisbees and hundreds of invitations to our next key gathering (May 17). The parade runs from 10a-Noon. I'm also looking for people that can help us put a smile on people's faces with free face-painting, balloons, crafts, colored hair spray, etc. at the festival, which runs from 12-5p. Anyone that participates at any time gets a free ClearView t-shirt (it would help me to know sizes up front).

Thanks for your help in finding volunteers. We want to have a major presence on this key day...we want to reach people where they are already gathered and show Jesus' love in practical ways.

Can you help? Bring a friend! Feel free to bring your kids and walk in the parade together! Let me know and I'll be glad to get you more details (timing, locations, etc.). Thanks!

Blessings,
Andy Wirt

A Strong Sunday at ClearView


I was very thankful for our gathering yesterday. There is always such a good spirit among our ClearView family and I just enjoy being around everyone. There is a genuine care for one another and a willingness to love and serve that is contagious. Our worship, prayer time, and discussion around Colossians 1 moved me. We also had a strong attendance and several guests, three separate family units, which is always encouraging. I was particularly excited about a friend of mine from the community that came, enjoyed her time with us, and said she'd be back! I had an exciting conversation with her last week- the best kind of interaction- talking about who Jesus is and what He has done for us. I always find my own journey with Jesus is enriched when God gives an opportunity to talk with someone else about the complete love and hope we find in a relationship with Jesus.


Thanks for praying for the development of ClearView. Please pray that God would bring us like minded people to help us bring our vision to reality and allow us to love on spiritually sensitive/searching people. Good things are happening! Praise God!

Healthy Kids Day At The YMCA!


Last Saturday, April 18, God gave us another great opportunity to connect with people in our community and put smiles on peoples faces. For the second straight year, ClearView staffed a table at the Gahanna YMCA's (where we meet on Sunday mornings) Healthy Kids Day. The event featured a whole bunch of booths and activities for children- focusing on health and wellness. True to the theme, we gave out over 100 bottles of water and ClearView logo Frisbees to children and parents. Special thanks to Dan Davis and Jen Hart who manned our booth, made great connections with people, and gave out many invites to ClearView.

Please pray that God would use these connections to link us to spiritually sensitive or searching people. We want to love people to a clear view of Jesus and mission. Our vision finds footing at these sorts of events. Thanks for praying with us that God would use us to share His love and hope with people in Gahanna/New Albany.

A Typical Day At The Wirt House

Yesterday it happened again! A whole bunch of bizarre events that you almost have to laugh at to keep sane (after you get done screaming in frustration!). We had just gotten home from a great morning at ClearView and were getting lunch together. The boys were messing around on the bench we use for them to sit at our table. Somehow Seth was on the bench and Silas was climbing onto it and all of a sudden there was this loud crash. I was in the basement, heard it from there, and knew it wasn't good. The bench had fallen on Silas' (shoeless!) foot. Instantaneously, Silas was screaming and Trish, first to the scene, was calling for back up. I ran upstairs to find Silas' sock red with blood in the "great" toe area. When I took off his sock to run water over the affected area, I knew what I saw was not good. So, we, for the third time in about a year (with Silas!), grabbed Silas, ran to the van, and hurried to the Children's Hospital Urgent Care in Westerville. We thank God for this place and the help they have been to our family it times of great stress and concern for our kids. Fortunately, by God's grace, Katie was home and could stay with Seth and Sara. Long story short, after three hours in the Urgent Care, we brought Silas home with 9 stitches in this toe and a diagnosis that includes a fracture and a probable tendon tear. To add to the joy of the day, when we got home, I couldn't find my wallet for two hours and Silas, potty-training, had an accident and soaked the dressing on his toe/foot and the boot he has to wear with urine. We've heard that if you're lost in the wilderness and you have an open wound, the best thing to do is pee on it-- the acid helps in cleansing. However, we weren't in the wilderness and were successfully able to change the dressing and re-cleanse the wound.

What in the world! How can so many things to wrong in such a short span of time? All you can do is laugh...and be so thankful that the God we follow and serve and TRUST has a perfect plan. Thanks for your prayers for our family- please pray for Silas for pain management (which has been going well, so far) and complete healing. We have to follow up with an orthopedic surgeon later this week. Please pray for Trish also as I am scheduled to be out of town this week for 3 days. Pray God brings help for her and that the kids are extra good for mom. Thanks!

God Speaks Through Silas

Ever had an encounter with God while interacting with your kids? It is so bizarre, but there are times when God takes a conversation with one of my children and uses it to speak right to my heart. Monday was one of those times.

Monday's are my day off. I was processing our Easter weekend at ClearView. There was much to thank God for (see previous post). God worked in great ways through our community involvement and Easter worship gathering. Yet, as a leader and church starter, I had prayer goals for the day that were not met. I wanted to see more people present on Sunday and more response to the hard work and dollars our team put into inviting others (door hangers, newspaper, personal invites, prayer/fasting). Long story, short, I was disappointed with our numbers. Several of my prayers that morning consisted of something like this: "Lord, we worked hard. We invited. We invested. We were creative. We prayed. You promise in your word that if two or three agree, pray, you will do it. You promise that the smallest bit of faith can move mountains...why didn't more people respond to our invitations?"

In the course of the morning, Silas and I got in the van (it was raining) to drive to the bus stop to pick up Seth (returning from Kindergarten). Since it was just down the street and not on any main road (please don't turn me in!), I allowed Silas to sit in the front seat. When we stopped, he was messing around with buttons on the dashboard. One button he pushed was the rear window defrost button. If your car is like ours, when this button is activated, a light comes on. Silas pushed the button and the light came on, indicating the rear defroster was working. But...to Silas, things looked different. He said, "Dad, I pushed the button. It is not working. Nothing is happening." Of course, smart dad that I am, I said, "Silas, it is working, you just can't see it".

It was like a friend gently punched me in the gut. It wasn't a hard, mean, punch... but a soft reminder that something important had just taken place. I, almost literally, heard God say, "So am I working...You can't see it (or you can't see what you want to see)...but trust me, I am working!" AhhHahh... Just what I needed to be reminded of God's perfection and my limited perspective. Thanks God, for a timely reminder through this interaction with my precious boy!

Easter Weekend Report


Thanks for praying for Easter Weekend at ClearView! It was a busy few days and I'm excited about many good things that God accomplished!

On Saturday, ClearView assisted the New Albany Events Board with New Albany's Spring Egg Hunt. God gave us a beautiful, sunny (although brisk!), day and several thousand people enjoyed this free, family event. We gave out free Tim Horton's hot chocolate and coffee, hundreds of invite cards to our Easter Gathering, sponsored "Chulo" the clown, and helped to set up and tear down at the event. It was great to partner with our community events planners, interact with many people, and "Chulo" was the hit of the day (a long line for balloon animals the whole event). I was especially impressed with our team. Last year, I worked this event with a friend of mine from Cleveland...this year, there were almost 20 of us involved with helping in some way or another. Praise God for a great Saturday in the community! Pray that those that saw us there or got an invite card would be touched by Jesus and that any looking for a church or encouragement in their spiritual journey would check out ClearView!

On Sunday (Easter), we enjoyed a great worship gathering at ClearView. There were almost 50 people in attendance (a great number for us) and there was a strong, positive spirit among the group. Wins for the day were using our "new" sound system for the first time, expanding our set up (we can fit more in the YMCA room we are using than we originally thought), improving our guest welcome system, and seeing a good response from the personal invitations our team gave out (many personal friends and family were present). Our team worked together well, gave of themselves sacrificially, and I believe God was pleased with the morning.

Thanks for praying with us for God to work through ClearView and our Easter ministries. Please continue to pray that God would work through the many door hangers that were hung and the many invitations that were given out. We are praying that these repeat efforts to let people know about an exciting new church in town will pay off in people checking out ClearView and/or allowing us the privilege of assisting them in their spiritual journey. Thanks for seeking God's favor with us.

4 Awesome Days

This post is way overdue, but I wanted to take a moment and thank God for the opportunity Trish and I had to get away and rest in early March. Early on in Trish's treatment process for thyroid cancer, I wanted to give her something she could look forward to towards the end of the process. So, we made plans for what ended up being a short, but fabulous get away together. God made care for our kids available through grandparents and Trish and I spent 4 days on the beach and by the pool in the Dominican Republic. It was so wonderful to rest, be together, see new sights, experience a new culture, walk on the beach, and be refreshed spiritually. Praise God.

There were a few ways where God worked in my heart in particular ways:
  • I read The Shack. I have heard reviews on this book from people that loved it and people that hated it. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. I'm in the camp of "loved it!" I would recommend you read it... no matter what you've heard. Keep in mind, I read this on vacation...I didn't read it critically or study every word and nuance. I'm not advocating every bit of theology portrayed and I recognize that the story line is troubling (although gripping). However, I will say that I was moved towards intimacy with Jesus. I felt the author's portrayal of what it means for a person of faith to suffer and what it means to commune with God (and each Person of the Trinity) was enlightening. Bottom line, I felt the book enriched my journey with Jesus.
  • I read a portion of Undaunted Hope: The James Gribble Story. Gribble was a pioneer (first to a given people group) missionary in Africa in the early 1900s. I was so moved by this simple man's commitment to Jesus, absolute dedication to God's call on his life to share the Good News of Jesus, determination to go and work where no missionary had gone before, resilience in the face of insurmountable odds, and faith in God's goodness and perfect plan no matter what his circumstances were. In one of God's great ironies, this book, paired with reading The Shack, expanded my perspective of what it means to relate with Jesus intimately and follow Him wholeheartedly.
  • I felt God, very clearly, saying "Your vision is not large enough." For over two years now, I've been laser focused on working to launch one church, ClearView Church. It seems kind of funny, because there is still a lot of work to do for ClearView to be ready for Grand Opening and be self-sustaining. Yet, I sensed God telling me that it isn't enough to pray and work towards the launch of one church...or even a church that starts other churches (as we pray ClearView will). What does that mean? I'm not sure. But, I believe God said, "Think bigger!" Only by His grace and provision...
  • Trish and were moved by experiencing a bit of the Dominican culture. These are friendly people that, for the most part, live in poverty. Yet, many seemed happier than many Americans I know. Many shops we were in had Bibles in prominent places. We weren't there long enough to get an accurate feel for the spiritual climate there, but our hearts were burdened for the people of this country.
I'm not sure what God will do with any of these reflections. But, the trip was wonderful and I came home refreshed. One neat note...on our first Sunday back, I shared these same reflections with our ClearView family. Afterwards, one of our couple's approached me and we talked of their desire to return to their home country, Jamaica, upon retirement. They're dreaming of starting a church there. Perhaps ClearView could be a part of that! THAT would be a bigger vision! God is good! :)

A Great Saturday!

Things were hoppin' at the Wirt house this Saturday... it was exciting! Throughout the day, almost 30 people stopped in to grab some door hangers and went out for a few hours to various neighborhoods to invite people to our Easter Gathering. We're working hard to get 2,000 door hangers hung, give out 500 seperate invites, and will be running our first newspaper add in this week's local paper. It was such a joy for me to have so much help from friends and people from several different churches to get over 1300 door hangers hung!

We also set up our new (used...DONATED!) sound system for a dry run in our garage. A few weeks ago I sent an e-mail to some contacts I was hoping would be able to help us piece together some parts and come up with a quality system for our weekly gatherings. God works in great ways! A member of our sponsor church, Northwest Chapel, heard of our need and donated a system to us that had orginally been bought for a past church start! Praise God! One of our team members, Phil, set it up on Saturday and blasted the neighbors (not really... but it sounded great)! God is good!

Please keep praying that God would bring people out for Easter and that several new families would join us to celebrate the power of God displayed through Jesus' resurrection! Thanks!

5 Ways To Pray For ClearView This Easter


God has really done amazing things in ClearView Church in 13 months. Last Easter, March 23, we were praying for a worship leader, a children's team leader, and had 16 people in attendance at our gathering in our home. Fast forward to April of 2009 and God has brought a worship team leader, a KidView (our children's ministry) team leader (and staff for three age levels!), and we're averaging almost 40 on Sunday's in our gatherings in the Gahanna YMCA. Much has happened in our personal and ministry lives and God has answerd prayer in amazing ways. He's building ClearView with healthy, biblical, and missional DNA through bringing us quality people. We're poised for another vital season of outreach ministry into our community as festival and parade season sets in. We're looking forward to living out our mission: to love people to a clear view of Jesus and His mission.

A critical piece to our 2009 strategy is monthly rallying points we're calling "Sneak Peak" gatherings. In contrast to our regular weekly gatherings (which are more targeted towards prayer, team building, strategizing, and Bible study), these key monthly gatherings are pointed attempts to creatively and intentionally invite as many people as we can to check out a ClearView worship gathering. At these times, we'll work to put our best foot forward with atmosphere, guest relations, a relevant, biblical message, and a meaningful worship experience. We're hoping that people will get a taste of a fresh, exciting church that has a passion to love people to Jesus in our community and want to come back and be a part of something exciting that God is birthing.

Easter, April 12, is our next "Sneak Peak" gathering. We're going to push the limits for us... extra chairs, running a sound system (for the first time!), fuller worship team, new children's classes, etc. We've purchased 2,000 door hangers, 500 post-card invites, and a 1/4 page newspaper add (pic. above). We'll do our best to invite through social networking tools like e-mail and Facebook (our Friends of ClearView Facebook group is pushing 180 members, mostly Columbus people!). But, I know its all for naught if I, we, and you fail to pray. Would you be faithful to pray with us that God does something special, something Ephesians 3:20 like, on Easter at ClearView? Here are some ways I am praying... I'd love it if you would join me:
  1. Pray that we would be able to get all 2500 invitations out (friends are coming on April 4 to hang door hangers and we're serving free Tim Horton's coffee and hot chocolate at New Albany's Spring Egg Hunt on April 11).
  2. Pray that people would respond to our invitations and join us on Easter! Pray that 75 people would be in attendance (our previous high was 53 on March 8).
  3. Pray that God would help me develop a message that is both pleasing to Him and a relevant communication of the blessings and challenge of Jesus' resurrection. I've chosen the title "Easternomics" because I believe there is a way to tie together the trouble in our economy/nation with the eternal hope and peace that Jesus offers.
  4. Pray for our ClearView team- many are stretching themselves in new ways... sound system, worship team, children's team, guest relations team, set up team...all pushing the limits to stretch into what we believe God wants to do.
  5. Most important- pray that several people would be loved to Jesus and begin a journey towards meaningful mission for Him.
Thanks!

Happy Birthday, Sara!


Yesterday we celebrated Sara's first year of life! What a year! It's hard to believe how much can happen in 365 days. Trials, victories, sickness, answered prayer... as we look back on the last year, we've experienced much. One constant and vibrant bright spot has been the beautiful and sweet-spirited little girl God gave us one year ago. Thanks for praying for our family...and especially our kids. Sara's now walking...might she learn to walk before God in the years ahead!
