Although we had a fun evening playing Settlers of Catan on Monday (congrats Gilbert & Lisa ... well played!), it was disappointing to have had to set aside the original plans for this week’s Quarry.
It was to be an evening of looking back and celebrating all that has happened in & to Quarry over the past four years - I was excited to reflect together on God's faithfulness and continual presence in the life of our group. This was to be the first step in beginning to look forward as a group. With so many folks missing, we decided to set aside these plans, in hopes that we will all gather together next week to begin the celebrating, planning & dreaming.
It seems that we’re at a pivotal point in the life of our group. Many of our group have moved to new (far-away) homes, and many others are entering into new seasons of life. We’re in a time of transition, both as individuals and as a group. This isn’t just a token planning session, in an attempt to use up my stock of sticky notes :) We need to have some focused, honest conversations about where Quarry is going ...
Please try to join us for the next few weeks. If you’re not planning to come, please let me know. We need to continue with the process, but it is key for me to be aware of who will not be participating. Let me know what you’re thinking ...
So, let’s plan to gather back together at the Irish’s on Monday to begin the conversation with some celebrating! See you at 6:30 ...

So close to winning. If only ...
The winning team!
