the roots are running....

If you want to see how a grass roots movement is suppose to really work, go look at some grass! I know, that seems too simple. The reality is, though, that no matter if it is centipede grass or crab grass, there is one thing in common, they take over the lawn. The better nourished the the roots, the better the grass grows.



This week at the Anchor has truly been a Grass Roots movement. We have been able to discover true life through death! On Monday I got dozens of phone calls, but 2 of those calls were asking me to 1) lead a memorial service for a 17yr old boy and the other 2) was to conduct a funeral service for a 67 yr old man. Here is where the grass roots movement really began. On Sunday, God spoke loudly to the Anchor Community Church! On Monday, I don't even remember asking anyone to help with the memorial and funeral. Then I began to hear chatter from every angle about this group doing this and this group doing another and these people fixing meals. We had a ton of volunteers here on Tuesday evening ready to serve and pray for the people of our community. Today, I find out that people are still frantic at making sure everyone is being served!



There is something far different happening in and through the Anchor Community Church. It has nothing to do with getting people to sacrificially serve or to get involved with a good cause. God is stirring and moving in the hearts and lives of people. I can only imagine what Joshua could have felt like when God spoke to him and told him to cross the Jordan, I am taking you to a place you have never been before!
