NEW FRIENDS

We just finished one of my favorite events - the bi-monthly get-together at our house for coffee and dessert with people who are new to the church.

What a great group of people we had over tonight, from various backgrounds and with such different stories. I loved the way one of these new friends summarized his experience over these past couple of months - I guess God just wanted us at Grace.

We always keep the evening light, starting with great desserts made by our own Jayne Palladino AKA Sarah Jayne Speciality Catering and then I chat about the start of our church and our purposes. Gill told me I talked too much tonight, but what's new?

There are two questions I throw out that bring a lot of interesting feedback -

1. How did you come to hear about Grace Church?
The internet scored high there this evening - good job we're looking into upgrading our website!

2. What made you come back a second time
At last, tonight someone actually mentioned the preaching, but the fiendly, happy atmosphere and the worship team still rated better than me!

So it has been a good day. Great service his morning. Lunch with the worship team. Workout at the gym and then a couple of hours with some new folks. Now I'm officially tired!
