The first Sunday in January marked a significant milestone for Partners in Hope and two churches with whom we've been closely connected -- St. Simon's Church of North Vancouver and Immanuel Church in Vancouver. We used to travel to St. Simon's in the morning with several vans, come here to the house for dinner, and then a number of us, along with some new folks, would attend Immanuel Church at 4:30 in the afternoon.
As of January 4, Immanuel Church has begun meeting in the morning at the same time at St. Simon's and it's been a healthy exercise for people to pray and think about where they have ministry, where God is calling them to continue, and where they might need to shift in order to better do the work that God has given them.
We will continue to facilitate transportation to both churches and gather folks for dinner but there is a definite "cell division" in all of this that we pray for and hope will produce good fruit and growth in both locations.
