We had a really good gathering this past Sunday. Alicia from Max Cremas treated us really well. Thanks, Alicia!
I met a bunch of people whos names I promptly forgot. I got Casey’s contact info, so I can’t forget him! Had good conversation with Casey and with many others.
We focused on the waiting and the preparation aspects of Advent. We’re waiting for Jesus to return and complete the work of “making all things new.” I have a sheet of paper in my wallet listing some of the things I’m “waiting” for. But advent reminds us that the main thing we’re waiting for has already happened. In the Incarnation, God broke into history “in the cry of a tiny babe.” In some way all things are even now being made knew, thanks to God becoming flesh and moving into the neighborhood with us.
One of the cool things about eGp is that it represents the networked church in the region. We come from a variety of backgrounds. In creating an alternative space for seekers and for Christians from a variety of church backgrounds, we, hopefully, are spreading the DNA of Jesus’ ongoing incarnational mission.
