 Happy new year! It is always amazing to start a new year and wonder what will come this year?   It is great to anticipate all the exciting things. It is awesome to have our new years resolutions and even more exciting to keep them!

Turning the corner on 2015 and heading into 2016 means we are one year closer to 2020. This week I want to remind us of what God is calling us to, specifically the second target:

By December 31, 2020 we will ………. be ready to launch our first daughter church, Wellspring Fellowship of __________.

It might seem funny or at least overly optimistic to think about planting a church when what we are doing currently is building up and growing the church we have, but it is vital! As we grow as a church we have to be prepared for reproduction, that is, the natural fruit that comes out of being who God is calling us to be! A tomato plant never achieves all of what God is calling it to be unless and until it produces tomatoes. We are called to be a church planting church which produces and plants other church planting churches!

This week at church we will talk about why it is and how it is that we are called to be a church planting church.

I hope you can come and be encouraged as we consider how we can live into what God is calling us to NEXT

God bless,

Pastor Chris
