International Quiz Night

Well, I'm back from my travels in New York. It was good to see some old friends and enjoy the change of scenery. We have known Tim & Suzy since college and they we're really great with having us stay with them. Luke loves hanging out with them. I just hope we didn't drive them too crazy with a 3-year old in their house for the week!

We got back really late Saturday night so I was pretty tired on Sunday but we still had a great service and a great International Quiz night. They are really challenging questions but everyone did really good and had a lot of fun. It's turn out to be a really good event just to get people talking to one another and getting to know each other better. It's nothing more than getting the family around the table and enjoying a good family game night.

This also promotes one of our important values at rH - We are a family working together.

Working In New York City

So today I woke up and walked to the train to go into New York City. I'm happy to say I only got turned around twice, once in and once on the way out. Although on the way back if you get lost in NY there is at least a Starbucks on every corner to allow to you to gather your senses again. Thankfully Suzy came and picked me up. Also, it's cold up here! Which I have to say is kinda of nice since its been so hot in NC.

Headway's offices are located on Madison Avenue right outside Grand Central Station. It's pretty cool. I'll be here until Friday and then head back to the South.

Last Sunday we had our first Sunday services at rH. We had five families represented. I'm really excited as we continue to move forward and grow rH. I hope to see you sometime there on Sunday's at 10:30 AM. Our core group is also meeting on Sunday's at 6 PM which is another great time for fellowship and planning for rH.

Team Efforts

Honestly there are nights I lay awake thinking this will never happen. There's not enough time in the day to get it all done. And somewhere in all of these rushing thoughts of things that I need to do for work, church, and family it all hits me - I can not do it all. And this truth is really quite a relief once you accept it. It's just getting to that point.

There is a lot going on this week. This Sunday we begin Sunday morning worship services at 10:30 AM, we have a cook out this Saturday, and there are so many things that need to be accomplish for both of those things. The good thing, is there is a good team of people at realHope that are ready to work hard to make sure things are ready. It is nice to know that when I realize I can't get it all done, they have already realized that weeks before I do. So everyone is busy getting things done this week and working hard.

If you are in the area I hope you will join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 AM. It will be a great time of worship and fellowship. And I promise you'll find more than just a church, you'll find a family.
