Rock Bridge Chatsworth - EVER CLOSER!

Rock Bridge Chatsworth is meeting this Monday night, August 24th, at 6:00pm, at the Appalachian Bank Community Center. Dinner and child-care are provided.

Here's a preview of what will happen:

• Update on building search
• Update on staffing our part-time student, children and worship pastor positions
• Update on possible launch date options
• Sunday morning service teams will begin preparations for launch
• Plans for our first outreach event will begin to take shape
• Prayer... Prayer... Prayer

If you are now on or would like to join the team that will launch Rock Bridge Chatsworth, please attend this meeting - it will be GREAT!

The latest on the building search

Here is the latest on the Rock Bridge Chatsworth Building search:

• While the Harris-Sutton Chevy building remains empty, it is still not available to us in a way that makes sense. I remain in prayer that if God wants us in there HE will make it happen.
• We do have a building on our radar that holds some interest. It is not something I can say a lot about yet but we are investigating if it can be used, what it will cost to make it usable for church and if it is where God is leading us.
• Some people have contacted us to discuss the idea of building a building and then leasing it to us with a possible purchase option. I have submitted some floor-plan ideas. PRAY! This would be very cool!
• Both of the current options require some down time, leading to the question of ‘what to do in the meantime?’ To answer that prayer we are praying and looking into a few temporary locations.

Bottom line: We are comfortably on God’s path to finding the perfect place at the perfect time.

Weekly Prayer Meetings

I recently shared here that I am praying for 250 un-churched or de-churched people to begin connecting to Jesus at the launch of Rock Bridge Chatsworth. So, at our Rock Bridge Chatsworth meeting a few weeks ago we started a list. A list of people that are disconnected from church or disconnected from God entirely. The list started with around 1oo people, has since grown to around 112 and continues expanding! This list lives on a wall in my home office, I pray for each name every day and it's AMAZING!

So amazing in fact that I want to share the experience. Thus, starting this week Gail and I will have an 'open prayer time' at our home on Thursday mornings - here are some details:

• ‘Doors open’ every Thursday morning from 6:30am – 7:30am
• At our home office [Email me at gus(at)rockbridge.cc for directions]
• Come at any time during that hour – there is no ‘program’
• Pray, get prayed for, add names to the list, add other requests.

Matthew 18:20 says: For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. If you area able, please join us to 'gather in His name' and wield this amazing weapon in the battle to see our community reached for Jesus Christ.
