Here We Grow Again
Posted by mmt1272 on July 26, 2008
Ashley and I arrived safely in Brookhaven Saturday, June 28, 2008. Our ministry at Brookhaven Church began on Sunday, June 29. We’re finally moved into our house. We’re experiencing normality of life again. The move from Louisville was not all pleasant, but worth it.
We started a new Young Adult Fellowship with one other couple on Sunday, July 6. There are now six couples and four singles participating in our group on Sunday mornings at 9:45. God is at work and we’re growing. I’ve been meeting with community officials, real estate agents, event planners, etc. to find portals of entry to connect with our neighbors.
Last week was Vacation Bible School. The number of kids attending doubled the second day! I was in charge of recreation and Ashley was over music. The kids really enjoyed Ashley’s music class. She will begin a children’s choir and music program on Wednesday nights after the baby is born in November. We’re planning to host dinner parties at our home on Wednesday nights, a few music nights, hosting art galleries with the local arts alliance, indoor volleyball in the winter, and having a booth at the Brookhaven Arts Festival in October, which draws over 10,000 people. Our neighbors are really into recreation, social events that include food, and anything that involves their dogs. Our plan is to partner with a popular local running store and new pet store to provide volunteers for their upcoming events. Servant evangelism projects will also be a large part of our ministry in the community.
So, pack up your bags, move to Atlanta and grow with us!
Until next time….
