Sunday I reflected on the path that we've walked over the last year. One year ago yesterday I left the comfortable confines of a good church to set out to do what I felt God was calling me to do at Severn River Church. On that Sunday a year ago we met at the campus on labor day weekend and we walked around in groups and prayed for the ministry that would come by God's grace and our efforts. We stood on a precipice as it were looking into the unknown and took the step that has been the fruition of the proverbial step of faith, and we have found footing.
It's hard to believe that we are a year old. It sounds like such a long time, but honestly a year is not very long at all. One year brought us a grand opening, the loss of old friends, the joy of new friends, Doubt Day, an unexpected move, and more. It produced new disciples that are following Christ, people who have been baptized and are learning to obey God's word.
When I look back on the year, I am moved in the deepest part of me to know that God has blessed our work. There's something special about SRC, and I'm glad you're a part of it.
