Bill: It's great to have them to look at. Thank you so much for doing that! Can't wait to see the ones from next big gathering. Thanks so much for organizing!
Bill, would it be possible to take the pictures down off of this page and/or to create a file for them. Maybe we could just post one picture on the front page and then link it to the file for the others or something? I want to see the pics but…
Tony: What a blessing it was to meet you and Felicity at the conference. We feel refreshed and renewed! We got the opportunity to go to a house church on Sunday afternoon with Thomas Wynn and saw his beautiful illustration of "leadership"…
Hey Roy. I think I met you guys at the Williams' group last night. Good to see y'all and will try to join you again on Sunday. (I am tired too but SO blessed by the group!)
Hey Brian. Tried to send you an email tonight but it got kicked back. I must have input into my phone incorrectly. Give me a call if you could or email me.
Thanks,
Cathy
Hey Bill...thanks! We were laughing about it because my husband was there at the same time with our previous institutional church and the pastor told all the men "don't talk to those people, they have some strange ideas." ROFL.
I am…
Hi Cathy, Sue and I have a 'gathering' on Saturday evenings. This is more complimentary to traditional churches. Our gatherings are more experiential than delivering information. Most churches are oriented to the preacher standing at the front and instructing those who come. We are more about body ministry. Several of our attendees also attend more traditional churches. We are pretty far out on the edge. One of the things we do is come alongside those starting a home church. You would be welcome to visit. We will meet tomorrow evening at 7 PM. We live and meet in east Richardson. I know that would be a bit of a drive for you. If you have an interest, contact me.

Cathy, Some questions.
Sue and I are open to coming alongside to help people form or build a home gathering when that is compatible to both sides. Is that something you would like? Let me know how we can best help, even if that's only prayer support. If you would like our help, I have some questions.
What day and time do you plan to meet?
Do you have a format in mind? What things do you plan to do?
Do you already know people who want to join you? We may know some folks on your side of town.
What is the maturity level of your kids and do you plan to have them in the meeting? We find that most kids are very spiritually sensitive and spiritually aware. They add a lot if they are not a disturbance. Of course, they don't have to stay for the whole meeting.
We would not want to intrude and we certainly have enough in our own gathering so we have no desire to take over in another one. We would be a support and no more.
I teach adjunct for a Seminary in your area. Tyndale Seminary of Fort Worth Texas. I sent a friend request because of that reason since I am sometimes in the DFW area.
Yes this is something new that has been added. Tyndale Seminary is a great place. I have been associated with them since 1995 when I met the founder Dr. Mal Couch. I began classes in the Master's program in 2002. I completed an MTS degree wit them before going into my doctoral work at Trinity and with Scofield. I do hope you check out our programs.
