Sept. 13: CGA at Holy Redeemer

2008-09-07T17:19:00.000-07:00

Praise God for everything that has happened up to this point. It's amazing and so mysterious how God moves and works in our lives, specifically in our service. If you've been in the community for more than a year, you probably noticed that change is no stranger. We go through change because we need to. Molding clay is never the same when being formed into what it's supposed to be, just like this community and this Cluster. God is molding each and every one of us according to His Plan and with that comes the unfamiliar. However, what's important is that we focus on the familiar Love that we all know. God's Love. So as things change, let's never lose sight of what matters the most, and that is Love—to Love.

We are having a CGA to officially announce the exciting changes that have been made to our community and our Cluster, respectively. Here are the details:

Who: All of Metro East Cluster 3
Where: Holy Redeemer Church (map)
When: September 13, 2008 from 12:45 pm to 4:30 pm

---

Don't be shy. Leave a comment if you have any questions or concerns! Also, you can call any of your Chapter Heads.

Note: All questions about the changes to our Cluster will be answered at the CGA.

God is Love, all the time.
