I'm excited about connecting with people doing similar things on the internet. It's happened already quite a few times. I look forward to more connection and mutual encouragement, prerhaps through this blog. We met the folks at Vineyard Central like that. I've met people in California doing something like we are who pray for us regularly. They are the church at Matthew's House.
I'm also looking forward to meeting some of these people face to face at Search Party in St. Louis. This is going to be a very cool event. I'll post more about it after I get back.

Well, it is my turn to give it a whirl. I think this is cool and we will have fun. Wheee!

I just want to post something else because I can! I've invited the other two members of our community who presently have web access to join in - we await your arrival! I also want to say that I know Kevin Rains will be extremely jealous to see that I already have this thing up and running. I love Kevin and all the wonderful people at Vineyard Central in Cincinnati. They are our good friends - Tracy (aka: Stacey, Lucy, Darcy, or Dorcas), Dave and Jody, Tawd, Angie, Owen, aaand the rest, there on Viiiineyard Isle. OK, too silly.
Seriously, though, we're learning from these guys - they're a bit farther along in this thing than we are. God connected us with them last year - almost a year ago now - and we have been building a great relationship ever since. They're even going to come down and do a retreat for us soon. Good things are on the horizon.

Welcome! I'm Alan, as you see below, and this is the new community weblog of Vine & Branches Christian Community. It's so new, the community doesn't even know we have it yet! I hope it will be an interesting new way for you to see what's going on with us. God's Grace be with you!
