THAT was Church!

Still recovering from a long Monday . . . but I forgot to tell you what an awesome Discovery Dessert we had at our house on Sunday evening!

Over 20 adults were here and about a dozen kids!

And all night as I answered questions and then we hung out, I heard story after story of how folks have been impacted at Oso Creek by YOU!

Many of them talked about how they instantly felt accepted.
One man talked about how he had never been at a church where you could 'come as you are' and there were no perfect people, only sinners!
A couple of other folks were open about how they are still 'seekers' on this faith journey and how through the incredible love of folks they were experiencing something supernatural!

It was an awesome Spirit-filled night, just sitting around hearing people's stories - their pain AND victories - and sharing about God's grace with those just beginning the journey.

When everyone was finally gone I told Cindy (in the spirit of Bill Hybels who I've heard say this) . . . now THAT was church!
