The Birthing of Something Beautiful

The cocoon has been shed and the two-winged beauty is preparing for flight. My wife Cary took this photo down at Chincoteague a few weeks ago and I think you would agree that the butterfly is beautiful. The two-winged beauty I'm talking about is our Church.

The Bible says that when you align yourself with His purposes He will give you the desire of your heart. I have been a Christian for 23 years now and I can honestly say that I have never been happier and more fulfilled than I am right now.
This is a huge statement to make because I have really been on a great adventure. God has been so good to me and has used me in settings I would have never dreamed of. I have traveled the world and have rubbed shoulders with some wonderful people who were passionate about God.

The potential at Allen Memorial excites me as I think about it. In two weeks I have visited 15 groups and all I can say is wow! The people of our church are more loving and friendly than I have ever experienced in all the settings I've been in. When they catch the vision of what God can do through them in their neighborhoods watch out. I'm calling are groups Neighborhood Life groups because we need to take the life of Christ living in and through us and release it into our neighborhoods.

When God designed the church He designed the church with two wings, the large group wing (celebration) and the small group wing (cells). Amazing things will happen in our future as we embrace God's original two-winged design for His Church!
