new beginnings & new birth

October 29th, 2008 § 8 comments

Today is a day not unlike any other; there is nothing about the 29th of October that really truly makes it stand out above any other. The weather is nice, the city is alive, but above all else it just feels like any other day… normal. However, today is far from any other normal day because today is the official launch of a new church.

Our church plant won’t launch with the typical pomp and circumstance that surrounds the new birth of so many other new churches–mainly because we’re just a small group at the moment and because it’s not a worship service–but today is the day. Today a new church forms and comes into existence within the city of San Francisco that wasn’t there before as our first house church meets tonight for the very first time. Today is a big day and immediately I can see more and more just how frail new beginnings and new birth can be… so pray for us tonight if you would. A new church is coming to life!

    Congrats, and as a “home churcher” myself, we are on 5 years of existence, and couldnt be happier! We look forward to partnering with yet another sister church plant for years to come!

    May God bless your new plant, Aaron. I pray you can reach the “unreachable” in CA.

    FYI – It will go much smoother if you drop your dirty democratic ways. You lib. :-)

  • Awesome! How’d it go?

  • Jeff says:

    Yeah dude – let us know how day 1 went.

    BTW – Dan might be on to something with your dirty ways. Not sure if it’s your liberal thinking or just the fact you haven’t washed those socks you are wearing for a week. Either way…..

    :D

    Thanks everybody! It went really well. There were seven of us and we had a great time eating dinner together, hanging out and getting to know each other. We’re really stoked about everything and can’t wait until next week when we’ll start talking about who we are/what we’re doing!

    I’ll say it again… it really does feel like God is up to some big things here in the city!
