Publicly Accountable

Lots of great things are happening at Providence...this morning as I sat in front I looked around and never noticed how we seem to be getting younger. I didn't count how many children we had this morning but a few weeks ago we had 16...things are happening.  Also this morning I publicly passed on what God has been putting in my brain. It is not all formalized but each week God reveals more and more of His plan. Imagination to reality...

Here are some broad ideas: To begin with we Encounter Christ through Worship thus driving us to want to know Him better...this would be called Encouraging 1 another thru fellowship...fellowship is a broad idea. It is not just having a meal after church, fellowship is all about discipleship...corporate discipleship that leads to personal discipline...I imagine a church that  doesn’t limit God through stifling creativity because it doesn’t mesh with what we have decided church is. So we become creative in how we reach all people..I imagine a church that is filled with opportunities for all ages to learn how to love God, thus bringing Him glory that translates into a passion to love one another...fellowship also serves as a spring board to Engage  our community

Here comes the accountablity...it is not about why we can't do it. It is about stepping out to see how we can get it done.  God has already been doing some wonderful things and as I sit and think about it I continually get excited...it is an excitement filled with butterfly's...if you are reading this and you are a part of Providence please continue to pray...if you are reading this and you are not please keep us in your prayers...we are heading into a new frontier but a frontier with limitless possiblities.
