Here We Go


This last week was epic. Once again we came from the four corners of our city for food and fellowship, and man was it good. After an amazing dinner brought to us by Greta, we talked about Luke Chapter four, and afterwards did some brainstorming about what the future could look like.

Man I am so encouraged and I think that God is really moving in our midst. I feel like over the last few months we've been getting formed into a tighter crew and that has been really cool. I also think that God has been preparing us for great things. I am really excited that we are starting to dream big and beginning to take steps to walking out in all this stuff that we are learning.

So this week we are going on our first ever Thursday night road trip. We are going out to Jersey for one of "The Legend's" (aka the old man, aka Jon Narr) photo shows. Afterwards we are going to be putting on our dancing shoes and going to the Barbary in Fishtown. As far as transportation goes, I am not sure what the plans are yet, but get in touch with either Chris or I. See you guys then.

Long Overdue


So... it has been over a month since we put up a new post here, and for that we do apologize. If you have been holding a secret grudge, consider this your official sorry. Life has been crazy busy, but in reality there is no decent excuse (except that we are lazy).

Anyway these last few months have been real exciting. Besides the food and good times, I feel like God is really building us into a community that hungers for more of him. I feel like he is taking us on a journey, and showing us that we need him in order to bring any real change to this city. I was praying the other day, and got a picture of a crew of people building a house, and i got the sense that God is doing that with us. He is building us into a place where he can come and live.

So I guess I want us to ask ourselves: "How can we help in the building? What are the practical steps that we need to take? How can we join our lives together in such a way, that will help us continue to encourage and challenge each other?"

See you guys this Thursday.
