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
