Shalom Anglican has begun!

Friends of Shalom,

Thank you for praying for us last week! We officially began meeting last Saturday night. We had about 20-25 kids and adults. We gathered for vision, evening prayer, and a meal. Here are a few pics.

Our Humble Beginning

First Children's Sermon with my buddy Christopher!

Weekly Word. This week I got into 1 Thessalonians 2. There we see Paul's heart in his ministry.

We're looking forward to gathering again this Saturday! All are welcome!

For the Shalom of Kitsap,

Rob and Beth

New Monthly Update

Friends of Shalom, Happy Easter to you all! I'm currently writing to you from Salem, Or where Beth and I have been spending the week with our first grandchild! Laura Anne was born on Thursday March 28th to Miriam and Tucker! She's perfect and we're enjoying all the snuggles we can get as well as serving our daughter and son-in-law. March was a busy month for us. Here are some updates and prayer needs. We've officially moved to Sunday morning! We celebrated our first Sunday on Easter and will continue to meet on Sunday mornings at 10am. Our core team had their first gathering without me! I was preaching at Holy Trinity in Edmonds one weekend in March and our team led evening prayer, worship, and our community meal. This is a big deal for a new church! We received a generous financial gift from City Chapel! City Chapel is one of our supporting churches in Bremerton. Pastor Peter Vorhees along with the whole staff there have been a huge support to me and Shalom since

The Ups and Downs of Church Planting, Updates, and The Weekly Word

Friends of Shalom, As you can imagine, there are ups and downs to church planting. So much emotion can be tied to each week's gathering as we wonder if our regular folks will be there or if anyone new will come. This last week I was discouraged heading into our regular Saturday night gathering because I knew over half our core group wasn't going to be there that night. A few hours before our meeting, a pastor friend of mine texted me and told me he and his family would be coming. That brought some encouragement. But then as we were about to start two new couples wandered in! I quietly thanked the Lord for bringing some new folks and for keeping us going on this new adventure! A few updates: - I'm getting close to finishing my ordination exams! This has been a big focus of mine over the last month. - In the month of January we saw over $3,000 come in from outside givers! - Recently the school that owns the small church we meet in (All Saints Academy) invited us to share
