We Heart Home Flock

Here is a series of pictures of one of our all family Bible Study Dinners. Lots of kids, lots of food, lots of fun! We just love these people!

What is a Home Flock? At WayPoint that is our name for: in home Bible Studies that meet during the week.
After a year or more off we joined one last year that was hosted by the Hedin family. We were blessed beyond measure. The group really brought us comfort and support and we just couldn't get enough of it. We were happy as clams to stay in that group.
However, we felt the nudge on our hearts that it was time for us to start a Home Flock in Palmer Lake. We didn't actually get it going until January. The fall was pretty crazy since we opened the new church building. With the opening of the building it brought many new and wonderful families into our church family. Many of these families were quick to fill up our Bible Study. Next thing we new we out grew our little living room and had to move the group 10 minutes down the road to the Hick's home (lots more space). This group of families have been such a blessing to us. It has been wonderful to get to know each other, build relationships and form a team of support for one another. God is so good! We just wanted to share with you just one of the many blessings in our life. And encourage you, find yourself a small group Bible Study...it's a great place to experience God's word and practice fellowship! And if you live in the area and want to join ours...there is always room for you!



I snapped this next picture in Sunday School. Four of our girls from Home Flock all helping each other find the Bible passage. I thought it was sweet to see the relationships of the parents carry over to the children and vice versa!

Swing Open the Doors!

In January Rory headed up a fundraising event for The Red Barn. The Red Barn is a youth center that our church and some other community members have been trying to open out here on the Peninsula. This project has been in the works for over three years now. The goal is to transform an old pole-barn into a place for local teens and area youth groups to hang out.

So far it has taken three years to get through the permitting process. Now we have the permits and we need money to complete it. The Red Barn is actually two pole barns that are perpendicular to each other. We have separated the building project into two phases. Phase One will create a coffee/homework/lounge out of the first barn. Phase Two will turn the second barn into a gym and stage.

For the first part of January Rory spent most of his time working on a big fundraising event. It was a Dinner, Swing Dance and Silent Auction. We raked in a few bucks and raised a lot of awareness for the project.

Rory and I rediscovered how much we LOVE to swing dance. We had a great time cutting a rug and letting loose after so much preparation. It was pretty much our first night out with out the kiddos! Thanks Nanny for taking on the two girls (Rosemary doesn't take a bottle very well so she had her hands full!)

If you think it's fun to run or walk through the park, and you'd like to support our youth ministry... Come to our Fun Run/Walk! We'd love to have you! Let us know if you are interested in coming. As it happens Penrose is a great place to camp, if you are up for it-- you could make a weekend out of it!

Rory's Sermon

Hey everyone, thought you might enjoy listening to Rory's sermon from this last month. It looks like he will be starting to preach more often at church. He is looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy!

The sermon is titled "More" It can be downloaded from this link. I haven't quite figured out how to put MP3's on Blogger yet.
