When in Rome...

You may be familiar with the end of that phrase, "do as the Romans do".

We all know that it is easy to become like those you hang around with. At the Grove we are hoping for the opposite to happen. We want to rub off on thoe around us.

While attending the church planting conference in Orlando I was challenged to more succinctly state what I believe God's vision is for The Grove. A vision statement is different from the mission statement. You all know the mission statement, "To Know, Go, Show and Sow."

A vision statement's goal is to identify a problem and the fix. In the weeks and months to follow I hope to flesh it out more so I'll just lay it out there and you can ask me if you are interested in knowing more til my next blog. Here it is, "Real People, Real Truth, Really!"

Hope you can join us over the next 15 weeks as we will be looking deeply into the Book of Romans. This week's message is entitled, "I Have Good news and Bad News".


Til next time I remain In His Grip!
