Downshoredrift

Being swept down the shore of life by the waves of God's grace, ending up a bit farther along than we ever thought possible.

The Grove

Something pretty exciting is going on here that I will hopefully be writing about quite a bit in the future. God seems to be bringing together young people from a whole bunch of churches in our city to come together and spend time worshipping, getting to know one another, and hearing about God in a relational way. Drew Burton, our student minister, initiated the idea about 6 weeks ago. Since then, it has caught on and we have a couple of dozen folks from all over the area who want to begin meeting regularly in a coffeehouse style environment on Tuesday nights.

Our first gathering is at 7pm, December 14th, and we are calling it The Grove. I'll get to speak on that night, but we will have a pretty wide rotation of speakers after that. We are still in the initial stages, but I think that it could be amazing. I pray that God uses it to bring people to Himself and to create Christian community in a life giving way for a segment of our city that desperately needs it.
