School is in session!

It has been another great week!  My girls are doing awesome in their new homeschool environment and my wife is doing even “awesomer” as their teacher (good thing I’m not the teacher!😊) .
 
They are using the same curriculum they used at Rainbow Christian Academy, so educationally, it was a good transition.   They miss all of their friends and teachers, but they are meeting new friends as they attend a homeschool co-op every Thursday.  Their classes include a community service class, a cooking class and a workshop class.  Macey is also doing a gymnastics class every week at a great little studio less than 5 minutes from our home. I participate in a Run Club on Wednesdays and play basketball with some guys every Thursday night in Kendall.   We are hoping that the friends we meet will be people that we can invite to come and experience Renew Church.
 
Next week, my mom is coming to town and Misty and I will fly to Portland for the Launch Coaching Intensive.  We already feel so much more equipped in the Online Trainings that we have completed through ARC but we know that the personal coaching will go even further in preparing us to plant Renew Church. 
 
Many of you have asked, “What exactly is ARC?”  While I go into more detail about it at our Interest Gatherings- you can learn more about the Association of Relational Churches by clicking here.  A big part of my testimony has to do with how I “happened” to be at the ARC headquarters which is on same property as the church that hosted the GROW conference just last month.  Had I not been invited by my friend, Pastor Stephen Rhoades, I may have never been accepted into ARC.  I had applied into the ARC program but never heard back from them and the day I was in Birmingham for the conference was the day before the deadline!  God was definitely leading that week!
 
Pray for us as we go and learn and prepare for the start of Renew Church.  Have a great weekend!

Thanks for reading and sharing!
