01759

lot's of cool things happening here in durango these days....at CTK we are all about three things: central worship, small groups, and outreach. as far as central worship goes we finally have a place to meet that is not chip's living room. we'll be starting at "pickles" restaurant on october 22nd. we tried several other spots and it never worked out...somehow, pickles, the least likely place, turned out to be the right fit. we already have two small groups going right now, but in two weeks we'll be starting two more groups. this is very exciting as we hope these new groups will be "birthing" groups...groups that will give way to even more groups in a relatively short amount of time. finally, this week well be starting to serve our community on a regular basis at the "manna house", the local soup kitchen.

some soccer news to report. i went to the fort lewis match today and it was awesome. ft. lewis (ranked 5th) was playing the 8th ranked team (who also had a lot of fans in the crowd). it was a "chippy", physical match....the fort jumped out to a 2-0 lead, gave away a goal early in the second half and then played tightly contested game until the final ten minutes when they put it away for a 3-1 victory.

arsenal is back in the world power rankings top ten, which is a good sign for my adopted EPL team.

finally, i saw the movie "Goal" this weekend. awesome movie...kind of a classic underdog, over come the odds, rocky story, but from a different perspective than normal (also great themes of family, cross cultural differences, father/son relationships). probably the best movie i've seen this year.

last but not least...check this out:

hey! hi inlaw inlaw. Did you ever read Christ and Culture by Richard Niebuhr? I haven't. But it sounds like it goes with what you're thinking about.

and what's up with 1759?
