We met together as a gathering today to talk about whether we carry on meeting every week. It is generally agreed that after 2 and a half years getting together we have got stale and its time for change.
Early on in the journey we made a decision not to consciously make any plans like planting new gatherings etc because we felt we were in a desert / deconstruct time. But we have laterly been in a bit of a rut.
We have agreed to meet over the next 6 months to meet only every 2 or 3 weeks and concentrate on personal hospitality with those around us. It is clear that all member of the gathering are being called in different spiritual, relational and physical journeys and thats good. When we are freed to think for ourselves we loose the uniformity of belief and action that we had when we were nice brick Chrich Attenders.
As Living Stones we are all beginning to look and act differently. We need to find how we fit with others around us.
Kim and I are thinking that we would like to actually act out a more 'organised house church' in 2007, not because of any Biblical conviction but because we would be interested in seeing it outwork and feel it might fit best with where we are at as a family. At the momment our lives are in turmoil resolving future decisions, jobs, money etc that we want to sort that out before we go that way.
