Gifts 414 - 426

We had our last BSF leaders meeting yesterday morning. I'm never ceased to be amazed at the caliber and commitment of the women in that group. They all have busy lives yet make ministering to ladies and their children a priority. They do it every week, fully prepared, on time, up early, staying late and with a servant's heart. They have passion for God's word being spread and a desire to grow personally. I will miss being part of that group (although not the early mornings!!!).

So as that commitment ends, things are moving forward with beginning steps to putting together a gospel (missional) community (GC). We met Friday night with another couple that we are anticipating co-leading the group with and then last night with the GC leadership from church. Our hope is to officially begin meeting as a GC group in June.

Anyways...my gift list for this past week...
