The Cafe...Real, Authentic, Safe Place!

Our Desire...to be a community of authentic, real Christ-followers building a community of real relationships to one another, and our world.

Church should be more than just a menu of programs and activities. It's supposed to be a place where followers of Jesus build a community... a place where those who attend love God more, and love others (their world) more visibly!

Mission: We exist to equip Christ-followers to uniquely engage the community through authentic relationships.

New Site? PRAYER and OPEN HOUSE

Okay... We now have a decision to make: is Rico's Pizza, Fifth and Mangrove Shopping Center, our next home? The landlord, Ken Anderson who attends EV Free, has scaled back the rent, and is making every effort on his part to help us make this our new home. The next move is our.


In terms of visibility... closer to the hub of the city... easier to find... it has sq. footage for our needs and kids... already has kitchen area and could be used as Cafe and worship, it's all there. It also means that we would go back to a SUNDAY Worship format. None of the stores in the Center are open on Sunday.

Critical Issue: Because of the fire and Saturday night so many have stopped coming, this is a stretch financially for us.

So... We are calling for a week of prayer and fasting beginning Saturday Nov. 24th and ending Saturday, Dec. 1st. The leadership Team will take in all that we hear God and each other say as a result of prayer, and make the final call on Sunday, Dec. 2nd.

What do we sense? It feels like God is leading us to this new place, and wants us to get home. What we need right now is for you to join with us in Prayer!

Here is what the next week looks like as we make the decision:

Saturday - Nov. 24th >> meet us at First Christian at 6pm for time of Communion and laying out of the option.

Wednesday - Nov. 28th >> OPEN HOUSE at Rico's for anyone to comes, see the building, ask questions of Leadership Team, give input.

Saturday - Nov. 31st >> meet at First Christian for regular 6pm worship, teaching and time of feedback and input.

Check back here for the latest... and Pray!

Love ya, Terry
