“The CORE” Canceled Because of Ice

kytv_iceontree1.jpg“The CORE” for January 13th HAS BEEN CANCELED! The roads right now are fine to drive on, but we don’t know at 5:00 p.m. Also, if you are like us, we lost power last night and didn’t get it back on until this morning. I know many of us don’t have power and won’t get it back on until even a few days from now. We are not going to jeopardize anyone’s safety for something that we can just as easily do next week!

Again, maybe God is helping us understand that we really do need to rest and refresh. To take some time out of the ordinary routine and spend it with your family. (Although shivering in the cold isn’t very fun. . . look on the bright side–it’s a definite memory for years to come!) If you have power and internet access, then keep looking at the online devotional.
We hope that you have a good weekend and stay as warm and dry as possible. We can be reached for sure on our cell phone 425.1761 if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call.

Love you all!

David

Cancellation for Ice Real Possibility

Kytv Iceontree1 As much as it is a HUGE bummer to type this. . . we are probably going to have to cancel “The Core” on Saturday night. We have been waiting for this weekend, working hard on the journals, childcare is ready, excited about the content of the evening, etc.

We are going to try as hard as we can to meet, but we are not going to jeopardize anyone’s safety for something that we can just as easily do next week!

Maybe God is helping us understand that we really do need to rest and refresh. Sometimes it takes “acts of God” to make us listen to Him. You know, the response to the online devotional has been AWESOME. (There are a lot more of you reading it and not commenting that let on. . . we’ll keep that our little secret!) Seriously, this is a great way for us to connect with the heart of God through His Word . . . together as a church family. Maybe this is a way for us to realize that “church” isn’t about the building, the meetings (although they are invaluable), the singing in unison (that is great too!)–but maybe church is about “community” aligned in a common purpose. Our purpose is to know Him and to make Him known all around the world. We can do that, and will continue to do that here at CFC, but maybe in a different method this weekend.

We’ll see.

Keep your eyes posted on this blog as well as our website for details. We are also checking with KY3 to get on their cancellation list. They will be our primary cancellation list source along with this blog and the CFC website.

Re-gen-er-a-tion

The Church at Finley Crossings is going through a season of spiritual growth this January and February called “Regeneration.” We will be taking some time to rest, refocus, and restore our lives to where God wants them to be.

Our church has experienced great growth in the last four years of its existence and we are preparing for another major move of the spirit of God in our next major season. In order to prepare for the growth, we have prayerfully entered this time of Regeneration in order to seek God, refocus on His will for us, and most importantly to rest, or Sabbath, in Him.

Along with this blog, we also will be entering into a time of Bible study and prayer that includes an online devotional that everyone can comment and dialogue with other people.

Here is a PDF with all of the details of Regeneration.

A Stone’s Throw

Well, I did it! I have decided to be one of the “cool kids” and have a blog. My good friend and hero, Brad Daily had the first blog I had ever seen. . . it is still here. Everyone seems to have a blog or mySpace these days. I just wasn’t keeping up! With the advent of Regeneration at our church, I bit the bullet and want to journal “out loud” about my experiences along this journey.

I will also have other posts about the things I love . . . my family, sports, church planting, fly fishing, as well as what I am reading at the time.

Enjoy. . . but be nice and don’t throw too many stones!!
