Yesterday we had "church" at the city (Estero) park ... there was no sermon - we sat in a circle and talked as a group. Everyone had an opportunity to speak, ask questions and pray. I'd like to think we all came away knowing each other and God's word a little better. In addition to those benefits, meeting in a public place means there is no overhead, no budget, no building to pay for or maintain, no committees, none of that. Just people gathering together in an authentic expression of faith in Jesus. ❤️🙌🏼 What are some qualities of a "good" meeting in your opinion?

You are all invited to join us as we study the New Testament together in 2026. We will be meeting at 7pm EST on Wednesday nights starting January 7. Please join us and share this with friends who may be interested. The reading schedule (PDF) and daily chapter by chapter teaching is available here

May God's richest blessings be with you. May He fill you with His Spirit, and give you peace. ❤️

Does it sound cliché? Do you take versus literally when they tell us to rejoice in our trials and afflictions? What is the purpose, do you think?
