building a community to reach a community

With the departure of Rob Sweet for a new ministry in Nashville, you may be wondering about next steps. Of course, our mission and vision is solid, and in season and out of season, we pursue building a community and reaching a community by being changed by Christ and used by Christ. It is this mission and vision that holds GFC together and to which we all humbly and generously give ourselves.

This is one of those “in case you missed it’ moments. Rob Sweet got a phone call back in April and it has changed the trajectory of his ministry. Yesterday, I asked him to share the story with the congregation in both services.

Only a sovereign God can knit together a team with different gifts and talents to serve as one in unity. During our stay, we hosted a day camp at Walker Park for any children who wanted to attend.

"A story is not like a road to follow ... it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.
