Last Thursday was an exciting night that we have been looking forward to for a long time. It was our final Vision meeting at which time we asked those considering being a part of the team to make their decision. There was excitement for this day but also fearful thought, "what if no one joins us?". At the beginning of the meeting, we had those that were deciding to be a part of the new church walk to the white board and write their names. It was emotional for me as a line of people waited their turn to write their names. Some of these people I have known for a while and others I have only met in the recent weeks. As we talked about why people were committing, the common theme was "we believe in the vision." There was a heaviness to the room as we realized that we are really going to do this, but also a sweet sense of community and celebration. I look forward to seeing who else joins us as we continue towards beginning this new church. I am excited to continue on this journey and I couldn't be more excited than to go to battle with the team that God has brought together.

If you are still thinking about joining the new church or if you want to get more info, let's get together to talk. We are praying that God grows the number consistently, using those that have already committed to the new church to reach people. Our God is good and we are excited to see how he uses us going forward!
