Greetings Nat, Keith, Marilyn, Caleb, Debbie, Michelle, Gelin and Walker.

Thank you so much for your participation in the first meeting. I marvelled at how each person had a unique perspective or sensitivity that I have a hunch will lead to a very vibrant and colorful group. Many things were said, but these are some of the gems that I remember;

Michelle: Her prayer for us not to be "earnest" trying to do things by our own strength, but to surrender. I like the picture of us all coming up with great ideas of how things could and should be and then praying to God..."We cannot, but you can..."

Gelin: I just loved just listening to the sound of his voice, and the references to the first church. I like the idea of going to God's word and really understanding what was important to the first worshipers.

Debbie: Her sensitivity to the many who love the Church, have things to say but could potentially feel voiceless. It reminded me how important it was to ask for God to put in all our hearts a real love for the body and a heart to serve.

Caleb: ...awesome....the encouragement to see worship as a "way of life", every day, minute, second...I want to talk more about this.

Marilyn: A much needed sense of humor, bold and gentle prayers.

Thanks to all.
