Thus far, 15 people have signed up for The Open House. We still have two more weeks to shoot for our goal of 20 people. I wish we could pack it out, but people in DC are a bit more hesitant about jumping into things, especially church.

Our Tough Love promo cards came in this Friday. We handed them out to our attenders this Sunday. The two major catalysts for our growth thus far has been personal invitations and promo cards/flyers.

Yesterday evening, I decided to drop by Mosaic Church DC and surprise my buddy Darren. “D” gave a great message on The Connecting Church. He did an awesome job.

My morning devotions came from Deuteronomy 9. I reflected on when the Israelites built a golden calf when Moses went to the mountain to seek God. I couldn’t help but to think of how we at times build golden calves in our lives. We drift from being in love with God to being in love [...]
