Uncertain, Risky & Hopeful

I've been on a bit of a blogattical there are many people out there saying much of what I'd like to say but far more sweetly so I didn't feel any need to join the conversation. However today has been a monumental day in the life of our "church plant" as we had our first worship gathering. We met in a local youth centre coffee and croissants were followed by time spent praying and focusing on getting Christ into the centre of all that we are and do as individuals and a community. Our Bishop has met the team a couple of times and it was he who thinks it all looks rather "uncertain, risky and hopeful". I'm beginning to wonder whether we should be called St Brendan's after the celtic monk who was supposed to get into his coracle (small boat with sail) with his team and say Lord let the wind of your spirit take us to where you want us to go. I like that sense of God dependent uncertainty..bring it on!
