SF Can you pass the word around that we are looking for churches, or even a few passionate individuals who would like to partner us with the SANCTUARY FIRST initiative . We are confident that we have three partners willing to run with us for the launch of the project. However the success of the vision requires that we start to enlist people all round the country and indeed the world who will catch the vision of Sanctuary First. I’ve been looking through the website that has come back from the design team and its looking good. The combination of an interactive daily worship space on the web with the tools of a social networking site, linking into a monthly worship event, be it small or large, will I’m sure be of interest to a lot of people.

I’ll announce the areas  where the launchs will take place when we have made all the arrangements and  our potential partners have all confirmed. The theme we are going to be launching during the month of October is Faith and Mystery.  The opening worship event will be exploring the challenge and experience  of encountering God in the middle of a crisis. The story of Isaiah’s call to faith and also Jeremiah’s  and even the experience of Moses all adds up to understanding God as a God of surprises.
