Diary of a Church Planter Week 2 - Bit of a Squish

Still getting to know my new surroundings, whilst setting up a new home and trying to work out who is with us (as opposed to just looking) - I also realise it can take time for people to decide to be with you, especially a new church without the resources and ministries associated with an established church. Lots of conversations about Vision and Values, Newfrontiers, Commission and the Holy Spirit... We had a good first Sunday morning though with 25 adults (5 from the LS family) and 10 children; a bit of a squish in a home so we are on the look out for a rented facility this week - sooner than I had first thought. During our Hopes and Dreams w\e as a family we shared what size the Newbury church would be by the end of the year - mine was the lowest figure: "...dad, where is your faith?" came the shrill retort.
