our first Sunday in downtown Menasha 10:30am

During the month of April, we've been working hard, very hard. God has blessed us with a cool location in downtown Menasha...the rent is truly affordable, the layout works well for a 'relational' church and it's simply an answer to very specific prayers. Never in two million years would I have suspected or dreamed that we would plant in downtown Menasha. But I'm seeing now how God is making a lot of sense on this one. A lot. You see, Menasha is a striking blend of the rich and the poor and a few in betweeners. As a church, we feel very connected to loving people right where they are and not taking the attitude of 'I need to fix you.' And being in Menasha sort of levels the 'playing field' of the economic and racial diversity in this area.
We are a people that desperately love people and we just want a chance to explore God's love and power with others on that journey, as well.
