Over the past few weeks the word “space” has become more frequently spoken in our conversations. And it’s been preceded by the word “our”. We give God thanks for this new reality – we’ve signed a lease for a storefront space near the southeast corner of Aurora Avenue and 90th Street.
This has not been something that we’ve entered into flippantly. In fact, the acquisition of this neighborhood space is the result of two years of discerning the movement of the Spirit of God while meeting, listening to, and serving our neighbors. And we’ve been clearly and deliberately led to this particular place.
We have our work cut out for us in terms of renovating the space so that it is inhabitable, but we are eager to begin to use this space as a hub for extending hospitality, engaging in missional activity, sharing life together, and gathering for worship.
We’ll keep you posted!
I had the honor on 3/24 to walk through that “space” (all the mess and disarray) but soon to become a grand “place” for the goodness of the Aurora community and to His good Glory!
Keep on envisioning, taking risks, loving people and their community…and take time to celebrate those brief moments of Shalom that you contribute toward!
Awake encourages me…
Amen! God bless you and keep you in this new adventure in his kingdom.
