Here's a Plan

Published by John Ketchersid on Wednesday, March 29, 2006 at 9:29 AM

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and willingness to be open to the Lord's leading for this new community of Jesus. Here is what I would like for us to do in the next few weeks.

  1. Spend the next two weeks in prayer and worship. I would like to focus our gathering times to seek the Lord about how we should move forward as a community. I think it is important to be in tune with the Holy Spirit...The Wind is Blowing!!! So, I would like for us to follow this schedule: Gather on Sundays (April 2 and 9) at 1:00 pm for worship and prayer. Also, come together on Wednesdays (April 5 and 12) at 7:00 pm for worship and prayer. We can also focus our daily prayers on seeking the Lord's guidance for this new community.
  2. Plan special events for this new community for Holy Week. We could host a Messianic Passover celebration. We could plan to meet at the park on Easter Sunday (maybe the weather will cooperate) and have a worship gathering, picnic, and egg hunt.
  3. The following week we could make some specific decisions and plans about this new community of Jesus: God's calling for us, Practical Mission focuses, Leadership and Structural issues, etc.

As we go through a process of development, it is important for us to be sharing together. So, feel free to come over and visit, call, email, and blog. We need to intentionally function as a community! Let me know what you think.

God Bless!

    Interesting name. How do you say it? Is it the same word that is used in the Fiddler on the Roof song...To Life?

    It is my opinion that "Chaya House of God" might work, but just Chaya House sounds like a half-way house or a place for pregnant teens to get help. I think it is important to not turn backs totally on the societal norms; otherwise, there will be very few visitors who feel comfortable enough to just give it a try. (I hope that my thoughts above are clear. Feel free to ask follow-up questions.)

    You need to contact Brad Voss - www.bradvoss.com - He is looking for an emergent church to work with.
