Had an incredible weekend with old friends from Mosaic (the Tafoyas, Rynesses, Greg Wong, and Laura Cave) who are now serving at Origins and new friends from Origins, a new church that has grown rapidly in Manhattan. They meet in the upper westside and Chelsea areas.
We went through the StrengthsFinder and Character Matrix (Uprising by Erwin McManus) on Saturday. This group is sharp and ready to change the world!
On Sunday, I spoke on Peppermint-Filled Pinatas. It was quite adventurous as the morning service was canceled (the set up team waited for 2 hours without anyone coming to open up the building) and then back on once the janitor showed up. Adventures in church planting!
I was really encouraged to catch a glimpse of this community. In a city filled with millions of people, so many are isolated and lonely. As this community serves their neighbors, co-workers, family, and friends, NYC will never be the same!
