Celebrating Life's Meaning...

We celebrated Easter (or Resurrection Sunday as some want to call it) with our 2 house church groups meeting at our neighborhood park down by Sarasota Bay. There were about 18 of us representing both the Sunday evening group and the Wednesday evening group. There were Three families and the rest were singles. We talked and talked around the picnic tables and camp chairs and there was even a reporter from the local paper. She was investigating House/Simple church for her paper's coverage of the issue of alternative forms of doing church/faith/Christianity. Already the past week she had interviewed me as I am, in a way, internet spokesperson for our groups. She was able to speak to the leader of the Sunday group, John, and to a missionary who is supported by our group who was there with us.

Flash! Guess how much more money the churches could give away if they didn't have buildings to support and/or clergy to pay salaries to?

Anyway, we ate together, celebrated communion together, and prayed for each other all down by the bay! And I promise you, we kept it simple and people got blessed!

Hope your time was Blessed as well!
