Herd Fellowship in the Blue House

Pastor Tom of the Grove City Vineyard recently shared a message on May 8, 2011 about genuine fellowship.  He described it as sort of a herd mentality, like a herd of cows, all mooin, snortin, and such, all up in one another’s business, chaotic, but with a genuine beauty to it.  That’s what genuine fellowship is, that’s what my wife prayed we’d experience at our first small group gathering tonite at the Blue House…..and that’s what occurred!

The place we’ve officially coined as The Blue House is a somewhat run down blue building located under the overpass on the corner of Bridge and Main in Chillicothe, Ohio.  In it resides approximately 20-25 otherwise homeless people, primarily veterans, and Dad has blessed us with the opportunity to hang with them. 

With that, five of us conducted the first Dad-ordained gathering at the blue house.  This gathering involved two women and three men, of which one of the men was about half-lit, but engaging and in search of and in love with Dad nonetheless.

Our attempted goal this evening was to discuss Psalm 150:6 about letting everything that has breath praise Dad…..and we did!  Most of the time there was two or three dialogues or trialogues going on at one time.  It was chaotic, but beautiful!  We even managed to briefly discuss the designated Scripture and concluded by praying together that Dad would continue to empower us to praise Him even during the chaotic times in our lives…..just seemed appropriate;-)

We devoted ourselves to continuing to praise Him no matter how chaotic life gets, and tonite we did just that!  Tonite, a small band of Dad’s children performed genuine herd-like fellowship with one another, for Him.
