For those wondering what's been going on with our #ChurchOnTheMove, here's an update. The sale of the church BUILDING went through, and closed yesterday. The CHURCH, on the other hand, has been gathering to worship in our Cathedral on Sunday afternoons. We've lost some people, yes. But the people who ARE there on Sundays are excited and joyful, and are the ones who really WANT to be in church.
And even more excitingly, since we no longer have to worry about snowclearing and maintenance issues, we've seen a noticable increase in generosity towards outward-focused, #missional projects. Last week, we realized we were able to contribute an extra 40% over budget towards feeding the hungry!
