I've had the privilege in recent weeks to meet with a number of pastors who have one thing on their mind - revival in Lake County! Actually there are several things on their mind - but that's the priority. A second motive is to support each other in our roles as shepherds over those God has entrusted to us.
Yesterday we were invited to join another group of pastors that have been meeting for a couple years. What has emerged from that group is exciting. They have held community wide worship celebrations they have called Unity in the Community. In fact, the Grove Worship Team has been invited to share in their next event on Sunday, May the 3rd. Our Hospitality Team Leader, Jan Lesak will also be using her gift and passion on that evening as well.
Our prayer time was really awesome, we read scripture and prayed for each of our communities. I came away refreshed and encouraged. In the evening I then met with a group of pastors who are planning a fall celebration to be preceded by a week of service projects.
Many of these relationships began two years ago when we first participated in the Sunday celebration at Party in the Park. Our friendship has been solidified by mutual prayer and respect and a desire for the kingdom to advance. I can't wait to see what God has planned for the Grove as we partner with other churches. Save the date of Sunday, May the 3rd to join us at Unity in the Community.
