We're back! Yes...it's been a loooonnggg time... But it's a new day and there are so many things to say!!

First, we would just like to introduce the newest member of the Gat team...Tim Miller. Tim and his wife Holly will be moving to AZ in mid-August and Tim will begin as the teaching pastor for the Gathering starting the first week of September...if you'd like to get to know Tim a little bit better, check out his blog HERE.

The past 7 months or so the Gathering has been in transition. And seven months later, it seems as if we're still just in the beginning of this transition. Back in March, a team of eleven people from the Gathering got together every Wednesday evening to really evaluate where the Gathering was and where it was going. After much processing and dialogue we somehow produced a purpose, or vision, statement for the Gathering...

As a community of believers, we exist to embody the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, by sharing life together, responding to God's presence, pursuing truth, and expressing Christ's love to others.

Once we had this statement, it was a little bit easier to discern where our priorities should be and where we should put our focus. If it didn't fit into this statement, it wasn't necessarily us...

So that's it for now...we will continue to update through this blog (yes, really, we will!) so check it out from time to time to stay connected.
