We Are Off to a Great Start!

This past Tuesday we held our Information Meeting/Community Group Kick-Off.


We were very encouraged by the turn out and are excited about where GOD is leading.

We met at the North Richland Hills Public Library. The facilities were perfect and the cost was great (free!). I spoke for about 30 minutes about why we need a new church in the area. When you start to investigate the statistics of how many people live in the area and how many are not involved with a local fellowship it is staggering!


North Richland Hills was once a small farming community that grew to a peaceful suburb. But with the recent growth of the entire Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex we live in an increasingly urban area. The population density is now at about 3000 people per square mile. That means that a three mile radius includes more than 28,000 people.


I know that we live in the middle of the Bible Belt but most of our neighbors are not involved in a local church. Many are people that are new to the area and have not found a body that fits them. People tend to hang around people that are like them - this is no surprise. Many are people that have left a church or their church has left them. One needs not be a studied theologian only a current news watcher to understand that many churches and whole denominations are changing their doctrine to fit society. Many are even changing the way they interpret GOD'S Word.


It is of utmost importance that no matter what style fellowship we attend that GOD'S Word is faithfully taught and people are led to the LORD!

Let me share a couple of ways that GOD has provided for Home Town Community Church. One of the things that we have been praying for is that GOD would provide a graphic design person to help with the logo design. Melissa Glatz at Glatz Creative Design is that person! She has done a fabulous job and has provided us with exactly what we needed! Thanks Melissa!
The last part of the presentation Tuesday night I announced the beginning of our Community Groups. These are small group/home Bible studies that Home Town Community Church will grow from. We have been praying about a location for our initial group and had nothing. My dear wife, Nansii was starting to get a little concerned. But once again, exactly when we needed it GOD provided! I dropped a flyer off in a local coffee house that is close to the Library. Speaking to the guy behind the counter, I asked if it would be OK to put the flyer up on their bulletin board. He said, 'Sure! The owner of the coffee house is a Christian and she allows groups to meet in the back of the shop.' Wow! I contacted Janice at Roots Coffee House and she said she would be more than happy to let us meet. This was a couple of hours before our meeting at the Library!
It is amazing when we take a step of faith in the direction that we believe GOD is leading us how HE provides just one more firm place for our foot to land.
Tuesdays at 7pm we will gather at Roots Coffee House at 9101 Blvd.26 (Grapevine Hwy.), Ste.101 between Firehouse Subs and Chipotle Grill just north of NRH2O.
We are now praying for people!

• People who need JESUS.
• People who will join us on this amazing journey.
• People who will pray for us.

I anxiously wait for the LORD'S continued provision and pray for you!
