Regional Gathering

On Sunday received the joy & privilege of attending a New England wide gathering of saints meeting in homes. At least ten different groups were represented. We met in the gym of a Christian school for fellowship, the Lord's Supper as a full meal, praise and interactive sharing. We deeply appreciative the labor of love by the Sutton group, aided by the Whitinsville group in hosting this time. We also appreciate Paul, Donna, and Nic, our musicians that facilitated our worship of the King. On a personal level I was blessed with one on one times with Nick, Ed, Tom as well as connecting different people together. Very blessed to have the northern contingent from NH & ME come in numbers.
Also very thankful to God for the opportunity to pray for our brother Bruce as he leaves for a missionary journey in Asia, and to give him the opportunity to share his heart for New England. Bruce is a strategic thinker, a man who has a worldwide vision, and one who has patiently networked throughout the Body of Christ for years. I am thankful to have him in our midst.
I also want to recognize our brother Matt W, and the catalytic work that God continues to do through him. Some years ago I organized and hosted two smaller scale regional gatherings in a park in N. Reading. After the second year I got discouraged. Matt picked up the ball, changed the venue, and took the vision to the next level before handing it off to the Sutton group last year.
