Clean slate, works dates, and gathering a crowd






Clean Slate: Wow. The lasting work of Sherwood Oaks Christian Church is amazing. I walk through the facility and realize that these students created a clean slate for us to step forward on our construction. No single group has made such a significant contribution to date. But there gift has inspired others to join in and make a difference.

Work Dates: Our first work dates was about preparing the building for the students who were coming to spend the week in a mission trip with us. Though not everyone was able to show up, much cleaning and prep work was done.

Our next one has a lot of momentum behind it. First Christian in Clearwater,Northeast Christian from St. Pete, Central Christian in St. Pete, and former members from Central here at Tampa are coming to serve. For more info go to www.commongroundtampa.com

The next work date is scheduled for March 31 - 9:00 AM with lunch provided.

Gathering a crowd: I am excited to meet April 1st with some of the neighbors and former members of Central Christian Church. If you are interested in more information, click here.

I would love to see you there. Small groups will be launching in April and much of the launch team will be formed from dinners and events like these.
