endeavor church

we are planting a church. and it's SO FUN!!!

this last summer, we joined a small church plant in rockwood (the most crime-ridden, unchurched area in our state). there were 15 of us, meeting in a living room. now, in february, there are about 60. we've seen God work in amazing ways - bringing people to Christ, baptizing, worshiping together, serving our neighbors and each other ....

we meet in a repurposed office building on sunday mornings, and enjoy lunch afterward ... and sometimes flag football. (well ok, that was just this last week.)

enjoying community on a sunday morning...

worshiping together...
joel and i have really enjoyed using our gifts in ministry at endeavor. he preaches on a semi-regular basis, and loves teaching God's Word! i am currently coordinating musical worship january-june. ("coordinating" seems so much less presumptuous than "leading".) i love every step of the process - prayer, study, assembling a song set and other elements, working with the team on musical unity, and worshiping with everyone on sunday!

It's great to see what can happen when people come together to worship. Not just in song but in all they do. Growth is one of those things you're seeing and that's awesome!
