Cropwell Meeting Open House

On Sun­day my meet­ing host­ed an open house to rein­tro­duce our­selves to our neigh­bors. Although the meet­ing has grown from five years ago — when only two peo­ple reg­u­lar­ly showed up at wor­ship — like all social bod­ies, we con­tin­ue to have ups and downs. A few ill­ness­es have recent­ly drawn some beloved reg­u­lars away. I’m con­vinced that regrow­ing a meet­ing is a 10-year project, at least, so we con­tin­ue on. The wor­ship is still deep and com­fort­ing. And the open house had a lot of great moments.
