February Update

Friends & family:
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support of High Desert Church (PCA). Here is the latest news and ways you can pray for this project:
News:
-In January it was my intention to begin 'DNA' meetings with our current small group...but the timing was just not right. I was rushing things, and it was good to slow down and focus on the group we currently have, and continue networking, in order to grow our group. I hope to begin 'DNA' meetings sometime down the road this year.
-In January and February we are just meeting twice a month for bible study. We will relaunch our Sunday night group in March (we also have a Thursday night group).
-Tomorrow's study will be the first one held in someone else's home (not ours)! This is a praise. And there looks to be 'record turnout', if everyone who is planning on coming actually attends. This is great news, especially considering the home we're meeting in tomorrow night is on the West Side of Albuquerque (our plans as of now are to plant on the far North side of ABQ).
-High Desert has her own checking account, as of this week, which will allow core group members to give.
Prayer Requests:
-For energy and focus. I've been in ABQ six months and have hit the proverbial wall in terms of networking. Please pray for new avenues to open in terms of relationships here.
-For our core group, that we may develop meaningful relationships with one another, while looking around us in our workplaces, schools, etc. in terms of reaching others with the Gospel of Christ.
-For future planning...I am contemplating putting together a Maundy Thursday evening worship service (Thursday before Easter, celebrating The Last Supper), just to give a 'taste' of what High Desert worship might look like. This will entail finding a musician, as well as a place to worship (I'm thinking a hotel meeting room, to seat around 50). Please pray for wisdom, and if this idea is to go forward, for all the details to fall into place.
-For my family and my marriage. I love Carrie, Noah and Caleb, and would appreciate your prayers for each of them!

May God richly bless each one of you,

Dan
