MCs Have Begun

It is official - Our Missional Communities have begun to gather!
So far only 2 of our 7 have met, but the stories are already beginning to flow:
Greg and Wendy's MC hung out for over 4 hours on their first night - eating, talking, praying, and enjoying getting to know one another. Greg said he was a little uncertain and apprehensive about how well things would go he was amazed at how at ease and comfortable everyone in the group was and he and Wendy are excited about their next gathering!
Clint and Helen had a full house last night. Like Greg there was some apprehension about gathering with a group of people that you don't really know. Clint said it didn't take long for that to diminish! Everyone just 'clicked' together! There was great discussion, several people sharing some tough life struggles and an incredible time of loving one another and praying together. One person from the group told me this morning that she could really sense the Spirit joining this MC and cannot wait to see all that God is going to do in and through their group.

No pressure intended toward the other MCs gathering this week - hopefully an encouraging post instead. Know that you are being prayed for this week!
