Fellowship Is About Lasting Relationships

I was at an Expand Meeting this morning at 6am. At 6:15am Bill Branigan called me to let me know that his daughter Rebecca was in full blown labor and ready to deliver her first child.

At Easter 1999, Bill & Margaret Branigan came with their family to CSF for the first time! They had received a mailer from CSF telling them about a new style church that was doing church in new way. We promised at that time that we were a place that focused on relationships and doing life together in what the Bible calls Fellowship. We told people that we were new and would make a few mistakes but.."those who come, get involved and stay for the long haul" would be forever a part of a caring and growing Fellowship that would radically change their personal lives at the same time our city and world.

The youngest two daughters of the Branigans (Rebbecca & Hannah) started coming when they were in high school. Four years ago I had the privilege of marrying Rebecca to D.J. Fish. This time last year we hired Rebbecca to oversee our graphics design and print media. She has done a great job!

Now nine years after they joined our new Fellowship.....I am heading to the Hospital to be with Bill & Margaret as they become first time grandparents! Doing life together......that has always been and will always be a focus of CSF.

I have to go quick.....I want to be there when the baby is born!
