Authentic Community

We had some really great conversation tonight at thegathering. It's exciting to listen to how people are experience a place where they are being accepted and authentic. We have prayed hard that rH will be a place where people can come as they are, where truly no perfect people are allowed. It amazing to be a part and to watch a group of people come together and be the church. We are growing and our space is starting to become tight and we are not sure where God will lead us next but know that great things are beginning to take place.

On Saturday we had an Owner's work day (pictures to follow). Honestly it was the most fun I'd ever had at a church work day. Normally, I would have been like bored and wish it wasn't happening. I guess it was just nice to be around people who didn't put up any pretenses and we all just pitch in and worked together. Maybe its because together we know we are making an enviroment where life change can really take place.

Ok, so this week is a busy one for me! Tuesday we go hear Jessica sing with her choir. Then she's staying with us for the rest of the week. Wednesday is the HRC big Business Open House (expecting around 100 people) town council members, mayor of Tarboro, representatives for the senators, lots of community people, lots of food, lots of wine, geez I just hope it goes off without a hitch, and then Friday, Good Friday service - 7 PM. Saturday, church pinic with Easter egg hunt at the park behind the church, and then Easter. Hope to see some of you there!
