What’s Going On?

Well, lots.  Last week was a busy week getting ready for our first thegathering event which went really great!  The DeVarne’s hosted an awesome cook-out, at which I got completely soaked by the youth in a water gun fight.  We had new people come and I’m excited about all of this summer’s events.  Thegethering’s next event is tomorrow night starting at 7 PM at the church.  We are having a family movie night!

Between meeting with all of our volunteer staff (who I might add are amazing people and a great team to work with) and our children’s  launch team, somehow I found time to volunteer at Luke’s new school for the day helping put out new school supplies.   Christie and the kids have been battling a summer cold all last week, and so today I found myself plain exhausted (and a little grumpy, sorry honey)!  So I’m glad to start a new week with new pursuits.

Hey, if you haven’t heard yet our podcasting is now working and up-to-date with all the sermons from realHope.  I’m still adjusting to the fact that all my sermons are online and hope they are a help to people.  I mean, if you can use them to put you to sleep that’s cool too, I guess that is helping you.   But really I hope it encourages you to be more real and to get more missional in your community.

That’s all for now.  Remember if your looking for a place to visit this summer close to the mountains and close to the beach and want to visit a great church – my parent’s place is always open…ok, so is ours.  Really, drop by if you’re in the neighborhood.  We’d love to see you!
