We have a pastor friend who is close to retirement who has wanted to do this for a long time. Dh's creation science class has ended and the attendees wanted to continue with some sort of home group/church so this pastor jumped at the opportunity.

Looking at about 15 people this Sun nite to attend. Dh volunteered our home because its in the middle of traveling distances and we have lots of parking, lol (4 acres).

It went really well. Twelve out of 15 showed up. Pastor read verses on prayer and discussed it a bit, we went around the room petitioning the Lord in prayer, questions were asked, we sung Amazing Grace and What a Friend We Have in Jesus (take it to the Lord in prayer). Then we sat down and ate our potluck. Nice quiet time with friends.

I wonder if that wasn't a lot like 1st century Christian gatherings?

Throw in some incense, prayers of the hours, the Eucharist sacrament, and a priest or bishop leading, and yep! :D

Briva, I'm glad you were able to gather with some friends who love Christ, too. May your journey be blessed! Please pray for me and ours, too.
