A lot has happened since our last post! Genesis Church began its services on January 24th. For over a year we have been planning, dreaming, and praying about how God would use Genesis to touch the community of Avalon. It has been such a blessing to meet and begin building relationships with the families in our community, because at the heartbeat of Genesis Church, that is what we are about. Community. Doing life together. There truly is something so humbling about seeing everyone together, serving and helping wherever a need arises. That first Sunday was a lot like a wedding; you spend months preparing and then it flies by in an instant and now we are entering the 8th week! Here are a few pictures of what has been going on.
The move into our new “home” went great. It is difficult for us to feel completely at home when we are living in a hotel room, but the fact that we are here is such an answered prayer. We are missing our friends and family terribly, but there is an unexplainable peace that came with finally arriving where God had called us. We are still waiting on the approval from the bank for our house (6 months now…), but we know God is moving and we’re so excited to finally be here. Thank you all for your prayers and support to bring us to this point and sustain us as well. We will continue to keep the updates coming.
with love,
the Chandlers
