Hey All, We are choosing to collectively scatter this coming Wednesday, the guys are going to go to Top Golf, and the women will do something together as well for those that want to. Nichole will be contacting you separately. If you are new to our blog and are looking to connect this week feel free to contact us by email at solagratia.ac@gmail.com, and we can either connect up outside of the meeting day, or connect you up with the men or women that are meeting separately this week. Once a month this community takes time to try and meet in the community, or meet intentionally with those in need or non-believers, and this is that week! We want to be a community of people who live out our calling both inwardly and outwardly as believers, and scattering is a way we can try to do this outwardly. Thanks, Adam and Nichole Crowl

Hey All, We will be "Collective Scattering" this week. Just to fill you in if you are new to our blog, the intention of Collective Scattering is to have prayerful intentionality to meet with those who our outside of the Faith with the meal night we already have set aside each week. In other words, we would normally meet with other believers on Wednesday nights, so we want to leverage that set aside day to ensure we have a focus that is both inward and outward. Obviously the hope is that we are seeking to spend more gospel centered outside focus than one night a month, this is just a way for us to structure to that end, and make good use of a time that we all have set aside as a normal rhythm for us. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about this! Thanks, Adam Crowl
