Last night at small group we spent an hour and fifteen minutes talking about what God was saying to us, and telling the story of what God has blessed us most with. Some said the value of having a pastor like Phil, others the upbeat attitude of Keith. Some were thankful for the blessings of things like "blue" drums, others for the people which are handpicked by God to be the team God's going to use to build this church. It was a very encouraging time. Then we talked and planned for the upcoming preview services and I felt an intensity of excitement growing subtly. I really think this weekend was a lift for our launch team.

Today I have a lunch appt. with Ken Kendal a pastor in Mt. Airy, to get to know him and present our need. Pray for me.

At 4:00 I have an appt. with a girl J who's father called PAG from Iraq to ask a pastor to contact her. She lives in arnold and needs a good church. Carol said, "We can take care of that." (Thanks Carol) Pray for me.
