Last week Allie and I hosted our first church plant interest meeting with our family invited and tonight we are kicking off a weekly small group at our house and YOU, yes YOU, are invited. For the first two months we will be discussing ways we can upgrade our lives, spiritually, physically, financially, relationally, and other ways. Some of what we talk about will pertain to the church we are starting but all of it will pertain to your life, so no matter how you feel about church you should come. We are meeting every Thursday night at 7 at our house (until we outgrow it anyway).
