stuck in the middle

Yesterday I was having a conversation about the vision God has given us for a Church. At the end of the conversation the individual said " I really want to come to your church, when you get started?
Ahhh!
That is where we are in the middle. The Bible study does not appeal to the unchurched yet based on relationship they would be willing to come to a worship gathering. But I will hold that moment in my heart for a while, God confirms the vision along the way.
Pray for us!

Good Friday, Fun Saturday, Rocking Sunday

We had a busy weekend! Well not in the terms of most pastors this time of year.

We had Elizabeth's parents come up for the weekend. So my non-traditional Easter weekend was as follows.

On Good Friday we went up to a place called R Wild Horses Ranch. Gabriella and Josiah enjoyed their first horse rides. We lead the horses around while they chilled on their back. They had a great time... well Gabriella had a great time... Josiah's horse ride lasted a good five minutes by himself and another ten sitting on his Mom's lap on the horse. Afterwards they had lunch with Nana while Elizabeth, Rick and I went for a trail ride. I rode a horse called Thor. The biggest horse they had, it wanted to kill me. After the riding we headed home and had a quiet evening at home.

On Fun Saturday we explored all of Chico with the grandparents and colored Easter Eggs.

On Rocking Sunday (Easter) Elizabeth, a young man from our Bible study and I served at the Jesus Center. The Jesus Center provides meals to the homeless in Chico. We spent our morning serving food to the homeless. Afterwards we came home and I hid the Easter Eggs for the kids and they had a great time. After a nice lunch our visitors left.

Now we are back to normal, back to loving people in the Starbucks that is closing in the near future. Hoping for big things and thankful for a outstanding weekend!

He believes that Church folks are judgmental and unloving!
