And The Assessment Center Outcome Is…

First, some reflections. Wow.  It really was a long week. One thing that was told to us by someone who had been before was how stressful it was, yet they had never felt so loved and cared for. I can understand why they said that.  We were talking to one of the assessors who was […]

Assessment Center – Day 3

Today was the shortest day of the assessment, yet oddly enough still one of the most intense. It started off with worship again. I actually enjoyed the song selection way more this morning.

Churches That Are Inspiring Me

Or maybe I should say church websites. As we get all prepared to leave CLC and get ready for this new adventure of starting a new church, I’ve come across a couple of websites for churches that I’m really digging.

Worlds Apart

For 7 or 8 months now, our life group has been heading out to San Lorenzo park about once a month for a barbeque. We show up with the BBQ, 2 big jugs of water and lemonade, and about 50 burgers and 50 dogs. Then we share the food with whoever’s around and just get […]
