Well just finished week #1 of the Church Planting Apprenticeship. We had a very encouraging week. Services were great yesterday. Great energy around the mission of the church. You could just feel and sense it from people. Highlight was the Leadership Community gathering last night. We felt so welcomed and encouraged. They laid hands on Heather and me and prayed for us. We felt like we belonged, like we were right where God wants us to be. He has a way of doing that.
So this morning I have been hanging out at a coffee shop, tunes playing, laptop out pouring over my church planting notes from the past couple years. Trying to get the ideas out of my brain and onto paper. It was one thing to capture any cool anecdote or phrase related to planting, but far more challenging to narrow down what we will actually be about. I want to make sure I am planning for the church Jesus wants to plant and not the church I want to plant--but the cool thing is that I think there will be some overlap there. I need to be faithful to Him and not try and copy someone else's ideas. I will try and keep the blog updated with different versions of the church plant vision, etc.
Peace.
