We had our first official, open meeting of Three Rivers Church last night. Kathy and I were honored to be able to open our home for the meeting, though we’re already aware that we’ll shortly be needing larger accomodations. We discussed what the Bible has to say about what a church should be as well as what everyone present hoped to see in the group. There were a number of people there who weren’t part of the initial crew, including one couple who it was our pleasure to meet for the first time who had done mission work with orphanages in Russia.

It’s exciting to see things finally coming together in a tangible way, to have reached this milestone in the church planting process. Though we don’t plan on being up and going with regular Sunday meetings until Easter, these Wednesday night meetings will help to build our little community until then.
