3rd Place Update

At 3rd Place tonight we talked about the concept of story and how God has written us into his story. We had a great time. The discussion was productive, everyone sharing in the conversation. Doug shared a few songs with us tonight. And I might add, he did an awesome job on "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus."

We had our biggest crowd to date: 9
Which doesn't seem like much, but when we officially started as 3rd Place just 3 weeks ago, we had 6... I am encouraged anyway.

The group is taking off, really opening up and sharing. Will & Alicia hosted tonight. They live just 2 doors down from me, so it was convenient for everyone. Jessica & Adam are such a great part of the group. And Jess's co-worker, Kate and her husband, Nate were here tonight. We missed Jamie & Aaron. They couldn't make it tonight. We really had a great time of sharing and being real with each other.

After the closing prayer, Doug had to take off and Kate & Nate left. But the rest of us played Trivial Pursuit - 90's edition.
We played guys vs. gals. I have to say, in all honesty. We stomped them. Seriously, we had all of our pieces in less than a half an hour. I can't say much more about that.

I really love this group of people. We are growing and trusting each other more and more. Many of them have told me that this is the highlight of their week. I am just so happy and encouraged that God has given me the opportunity to facilitate such a thing.

Keep praying for 3rd Place. We have big things coming up at the first of the year. I can feel it!
