Res Ecclesiorum

I don't know if that's right. It's supposed to say "Church Things," but I think that means I'm supposed to use the ablative, but I think Ecclesia isn't even Latin, it's Greek, so who knows. Brendan. Brendan knows. Anyway, I promised a Church one a while ago, but it hasn't happened yet, so here it is. As some of you know, December 28th was my last time playing with Achilles Heel, the band I helped form to lead music at the Lake City Campus of Mars Hill. Since then, there were a number of Sundays that we went to Ballard, because we needed a seven o'clock service. We felt really at home there, since both our community groups attend there (Brendan's group and Rachel's girl group) and we just know a lot of other people there, but still felt that we were supposed to be at Lake City. So we went to a member's meeting up there, and felt pretty out of place, and not in line with their mission for reaching Lake City, so we decided to move back to Ballard permanently, which we did. It's been really good for us. We started serving down there, serving communion at the seven o'clock service, and we've been loving it. Right now Mark is going through 1st and 2nd Peter, speaking about suffering, and it's been very good for the congregation. All the sermons are online, and there's a booklet you can print off too, I would recommend it. Community groups are also good. Brendan's keeps growing, Adele's girl group is also supposed to be pretty good, but that's only hearsay, I don't go. So, during that time on Monday night that our house is filled up with women, Jon Lewis and I go have Pub night, and go over our weeks: what we saw Jesus do, what he's been doing in us, what we're reading, that sort of thing. But recently we decided to turn it into a community group, and we're thinking it'll get kicked off around the middle of May. So that's awesome. There's a few more projects that I'd like to get going as well, but I need to talk to people and see to things; generally get things more nailed down before I publish it. So there's that. That's what's been going on at Church.
