After a few months of Dan's leadership and a few years of prayer, the church is taking shape and beginning to draw in new people from the community.

• There are dozens of people on the outskirts of our community that people know through work, in their neighborhoods, and at their schools. Pray for the many relationships that are ready to move deeper and talk about the truth of the gospel. Pray for the people who are hearing the gospel for the first time, or just beginning to understand what they thought they already knew.
• We are praying the Lord would open doors to a new facility where our congregation could meet on Sunday morning instead of Sunday evening. The 5pm start is especially tough on families with small children.
  
• Several women in our church are expecting. Pray for healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries. Pray the children would know Jesus.
• Economic downturn has led to some big cutbacks in government jobs in Massachusetts. Pray for people who are being laid off and whose jobs are being relocated outside of the city to cut costs.

• Community groups have been meeting for almost two months, and several new people from the area are attending those groups
• Each day we have new opportunities to meet people and show them the love of Christ
• The difficult economy has erased the false sense of security that many had in their well being, and opened doors to share about the only true source of security.
  
• We have had several new faces in the church on Sundays, and even more in the homes and lives of our core group members.
