With the beginning of this new year, it's definitely a new season for Vida Nueva Upland. The holidays were a nice close to the previous chapter in the life of the surviving church. There are many plans still brewing that will take VN Upland on a neverending journey of health, outreach and ministry, where it will thrive. This is a process, however, and a learning experience that has endless possibilities.
Yesterday, a couple of families and I went to check out a couple of places to call home (for a while, anyway), and it seems as though we have a green light. The meeting space is somewhat smaller than where we now meet in Ontario, but now, we will have a room for children's ministry, we will be paying less than what we've been paying, and we won't be meeting in the same place as one of our sister churches. The latter may not sound as a big deal, but it was just kinda weird having two congregations (who report to the same office) meet in the same place.
So, it appears as though we will be moving back to Upland within a month. It's kinda funny because I just started a new series called "The Other Side" where we talk about crossing over (not Jonathan Edwards style) to the other side in terms of faith, in our relationships, jobs, ministry and as a church. It's kind of a "next step/level" talk. And this move to Upland feels like we're going over to the other side. I'll comment more on what else is going on soon.
