Ezekiel 17 ( The Connection)

After several prayers and discussions about name and purpose we have decided on a name for our new church.

The Connection
Connecting with God. Connecting with People.


I like the use of this symbol of the Trinity with the name. I love the idea of living our lives in connection with the Lord through the grace of Jesus Christ. And that connection is the basis for all of our relationships and efforts in this world.

I guess I will be changing the name of this blog soon. But now it is time for bed. I was just too excited about the name decision to wait until tomorrow to post it.

Good Night and God Bless!

This coming Sunday, May 7, we will meet at Linda Spurlock Park on Glenview. Bring your lunch, if you want to, and meet with us at about noon (we will probably start our worship time at about 1:00). We will eat, play, and worship together. I'm really looking forward to it!

Last night we had a great discussion at our house. I'm sorry that we could not all be there, but the group that was there made some real headway concerning the development of our new church community. We discussed some the the things that I had written down and handed out on my development proposal. We also talked about church names. We decided to make a final decision this coming Sunday. In our discussion two names seemed to resonate with everyone:

1. The Connection
2. Sanctuary

We also talked about using a tagline that describes our desire to be a gracious Christian community. We have not ruled out all other ideas, but these two rose to the top for us in our discussion. If you have other ideas, please bring them Sunday. If you can't make it Sunday, call and let us know any ideas you might have.

Please continue to pray and ask the Lord to open doors for the message of Christ through us (Colossians 4:2,3).

God Bless!
