Dusk and Summer

As this summer draws to a close I am struck by how incredible God's work really is in my life. This community that is forming/ has formed is something new and different and is exactly what I needed. I've felt God's call for a while but never been able to figured out exactly what God was calling me to.

And so in the summer of '06 in a hotel room in downtown San Antonio conversations began about what the church should look like, what needs to be changed and where things should be going, and from this Clay People Community was formed.

I'd like to think that the point of Clay People is very much related to a quote from Ghandi, "we
need to be the change we want to see in the world" This Community was formed in order to try and be a faith community, a church, that is willing to be different and dangerous and fresh. But not only that, we are called to serve, in our own personal spheres of influence, and (when the oppurtunity presents itself) together.

All of this we formed in one summer, through late night conversations on balconies, through phone calls and emails. And now the dusk of summer is upon us, but it's not the end, in fact, it's only the beginning.
