Last evening we had our first official "thing", or larger group gathering. Friends came in from all over, from Nicholasville to Cincinnati. It was great meeting new folks, like Rachel, and good to see other friends again, like Kyle and the Rainses. We had a really good time of hanging out with coffee and cookies and such, then got into some organized focusing on Jesus through the daily office. We sang (or chanted) the Psalm, which was very cool and a little foreign to some (probably most) of the participants. Then Alan spoke a little about the Scripture reading, and we had a time of open discussion of what was said. The participatory thing is very cool. Then we moved into a time of worship through song and communion. Afterward, of course we hung out and "fellowshipped" some more, as we used to say, then a bunch of us went to Bearno's pizza for the obligatory after-"thing" meal. It was just so great hanging out with a large bunch of folks with similar mindsets. I'm looking forward to doing this each month. Oh, yeah, look for lots of photos, probably both here and at Alan's site--he had his new "toy" (digital camera) in use last night.
