The First Update -- Community

For anyone who is tuned in, here is the update the you have been waiting for.

It is cold!!!

Or at least for two Texans living in Ohio it is cold.

By the grace of God I move to Northeast Ohio for a job opportunity. Once here, I found out very quickly that there was other work, more kingdom oriented work, here for than just a position within corporate America.

As it stands now I work eight hours and day and labor to build the kingdom and pursue the Lord for the rest of the time that I am awake, ideally that would be the only things that I do. One of the main focuses of my intensity is building community within my church, Catalyst Church.

Working with my pastor, Jonathan Herron, we have managed to create two small groups, 2:42 groups, that meet in people homes, share food as well as fellowship.

Amanda and I are currently hosting a group that is going very well. We had the opportunity to sit down with one of the families currently attending and reminisced on how we met our spouse, hospital stories, and anything else that came to memory. It was a great time just to get to know two people who if it were not for the common bond of Christ that we share, my wife and I might have nothing in common with.

Friendship is good. It is necessary. You and I need it more than we will ever know. If you are not involved in a life giving small group make the time for it, you will not be disappointed.
