Alpha Update: 1st Meeting

For all of you who were praying for us last night, we thank you. We had 17 people, a mix of believers and seekers. The atmosphere was great...everyone was speaking openly and freely about the intro topic -- basically whether or not church today is boring and irrelevant.

Unfortunately none of our frisbee friends came. But we had a good showing from our baseball families ("I love it when a plan comes together" -- Thank you, Lord).

Alpha will continue for the next 10 weeks (I was wrong on that figure before) each Tuesday night at 7pm. So you can continue to pray with us that our friends here will be opening their minds and hearts to what they are hearing and that they will come to see their need for forgiveness and reconciliation with the Father.

It's really amazing to serve God sometimes. It's like seeing a really beautiful day and soaking in the sunshine and breathing in a big breathe of fresh air...you just can't get enough. We've seen hundreds or thousands of days like that and yet each time it's like we're experiencing it for the first time. Same way with God. We've seen Him work a multitude of times. Yet it never gets dull or boring. It's always amazing to soak Him in and to experience and be a part of what He is doing in our and in other peoples' lives.
