Update Tuesday

It has been another busy week here in the Hammer. We have been discussing, with each of our three Fellowships, what it should look like to be living in an Up,In,Out rhythm. We have been talking about it and encouraging it for each of us as individuals, but also collectively as groups. What would it look like for each of our Fellowships to live in this rhythm? Each group may look a bit different, and live it out slightly differently, but it has been fun to hear the members respond with thoughts and ideas. Moving forward from here we will be trying to dedicate a week to each principle and live in this rhythm collectively. I am excited to see what the near future holds, and how God will shape and use our Ups, our Ins, and our Outs.

As we both decentralize and start more Fellowships, while at the same time work out what it means to be interdependent we have begun to have discussions about the need for a web site to be our centralized, public access point. As we look to be more active within our communities this will be an important access point for people. I am excited to begin the process of shaping this tool and would ask for your prayers as we progress.

Lastly this morning, please pray for Rick as I go with him for the initial hearing from the altercation I spoke about a number of weeks ago. Pray that The Lord would go ahead of us putting people with discerning minds and open hearts in place and that nothing would amount from the charges. Pray also the The Lord would use this as a wake up call for Rick, and that it might serve to lead him closer to The Lord.
