March Update

Friends & Family: Forgive me for not being more consistent with these updates...please know how often I think of each of you who are financially and/or prayerfully supporting our work here in Albuquerque. I trust this update will find you rejoicing in His grace. Here's the latest news regarding High Desert Church (PCA): -In the past six weeks or so we have seen several new couples attending one of our two Bible study groups. In addition, folks are beginning to invite their friends who are looking for a church home...which means the group is expanding beyond just my 'contacts.' -A very simple website, highdesertpca.com, should be up and running in the next week or two. No one would every confuse me with a webmaster (!), but I've found an easy way to get our information up on the web. We'll revamp (likely, with professional help!) the website once we are ready to launch weekly Sunday morning services. -High Desert is having our first worship service on Thursday, April 21 at 7pm here in Albuquerque, at a meeting room at Sandia Labs Federal Credit Union (for you locals, 3707 Juan Tabo NE, at JT and Comanche). This is a Maundy Thursday worship service, not advertised, just for our core group and folks they want to invite. After eight months of gathering people, I think it will be fun for all of us to 'taste' worship together, and give a preview to our friends and family. If any of you are local and would like to come, we'd love to see you! So you can see, there is much to thank God for! Please remember us in your prayers in the following ways: 1. That our core group will continue to invite others to our bible study groups, and that we will increase in numbers. We have about 20 adults involved at this point...I'd like to see that number at 40 by the time we're ready to 'launch'. 2. That our Maundy Thursday service will be an encouragement to those who attend...and that those who come will sense the very presence of God in our midst. 3. That as folks in our group sense God calling them to our mission church, that they will begin to contribute financially to HDC. A friend of mine reminds me often that he loves his job: he says he is 'living the dream.' Blog readers, please know that I am truly 'living the dream' by seeing God at work here in Albuquerque...and your support is a huge part of that! Yours in Christ, Dan
