strong discipleship
deep relationships
passionate worship
and transformative outreach

Members of the community are not investors.

We are shepherds.
We are a new family.
We are a community of servants.

There is a moment between intending to pray and actually praying that is as dark and silent as any moment in our lives... the greatest obstacle to prayer is the simple matter of beginning, the simple exertion of will, the starting, the acting, the doing. — Emilie Griffin

@AndrewPetiprin @Schlesingene Agreed. It was an epic show which should have had an epic ending. It went out with a whimper rather than a bang.
