Returned earlier today from an "advance," (I'm reluctant to call it a retreat) in Santa Cruz, CA with the San Francisco Bay area house church. Ten adults and two children participated in their first advance as a group. They are blessed with a number of people gifted in facilitating worship and we enjoyed several times of praise and prayer. I had the privilege of offering some reflections on singleness and marriage from a Scriptural perspective. I'm sensing that this group, which originated approximately two years ago, is entering a new season, which will see both growth in numbers and increased hunger to know God more deeply. I look forward with great anticipation to see what God will do in and with them in the months and years to come.
Am reading a Christian classic, J. I. Packer's "Knowing God," which I never quite got around to before. We also look forward to the visit of our brother Brian Anderson and other believers from a house church in Sacramento this coming Sunday. Two weeks from today I hit the road again and head south and east towards an eventual return to New England sometime in May, God willing.
