Another weekend has come and gone and we offically passed our 52nd public meeting We're a full year old! Wow, in so many ways it is so hard to believe that that much time came and went. A year seems like such a long time, but days fly by, weeks are pleasant memories when I can remember them, months are a little clearer in the mind, and a year is only a small collection of months, so WOW what a year. Feel free to leave comments and share your memories of the last year.
The path that a church plant travels is such an uncharted one. I'm not sure that any of us would have seen where we'd be, where we'd be on the edge of going. There are places we thought we'd be that we're not, and places that we never thought of, that we've come to. But that's fairly typical of the walk of faith.
I have a tendency to look forward, but this is a great time to look back and celebrate what God has done. I want to especially thank the launch team (those first twenty people) who have worked hard, probably harder than they've ever worked for church before. Church planting is such a hard road, and so many of you hung in for the long haul. Please receive my genuine thanks.

I was just reading Psalm 5 and in verse 8 (I think), it says "Make straight YOUR paths before me." It struck me that we mostly pray that God makes OUR path straight, instead of praying for His way for us. I hope that your church is always following HIS direction in the future as you have this past year
