5 weeks, and still going...

This coming Saturday will mark our 6th week of chc @ the schweitzer chapel. It's been a great experience so far. Last week we found ourselves competing with the Winter Carnival. There was a torch light parade and a fireworks show at 6pm, and I expected that would impact the turnout at the gathering pretty significantly. That really wasn't the case. About 35 of us had a great time together, singing, praying for our brothers and sisters in Haiti, and discussing the role servanthood can play in our lives.

On a personal note, I'm having a lot of fun partnering with Justin Landis to make the gatherings happen each week. I think we both are loving the simplicity of what happens at the chapel Satursday nights. I've been reminded what a great gift Justin has behind the guitar.

We have averaged around 25-70 in attendance. Suprisingly, we have seen a bunch of new faces each week. All in all I would say that this gathering has been a blessing to a bunch of people--whether they were up for just one week this season or plan to be back many more times. There seems to be an energy and excitement about it. Sounds like a God things to me.

Would love to hear from others--how do you feel this experiment is going...
