Our First Year

The above picture shows the 19 people (minus our sweet Susan) who were in attendance the very first Sunday that Commons Church met for worship. We met in our living room and sat on our couches. The kids sat on a blanket on the floor. Steve preached from a folding chair. Corey led us in worship for the first time with his guitar. We have picked up some friends along the way and God has done some really great things. The picture below shows the people who were in attendance on our July 17th one year anniversary. We are in no way about our numbers, but people who love as best they can like Jesus attract others. Fun to see God's work.

A Special Gift

This Christmas I had a really fun surprise from some families in Kaufman. When I was getting out our Christmas decorations this year, I made note that I would need to be shopping after Christmas sales for a taller tree for next year. Our ceilings here are a little taller than they were in Kaufman and, in my opinion, you must have the largest tree possible....Christmas Vacation style. For some reason, I guess I mentioned this to J. Murrey of Kaufman, TX. I knew she was quite the shopper and that she might be out and about and find trees on sale and could let me know where to start looking. On our way to Rowlett for Thanksgiving break our boys were invited to spend the night with Blain Murrey and so our families met up at none other than El Fenix in Dallas to make the swap. K. Arrington had also made the trip to EF and as soon as everyone was settled at the table, I was given an envelope that I assumed was a Christmas card...I opened it to find that it was a Christmas card, but it was filled with cash from people from Kaufman with instructions to go and buy Commons Church (and our family) a taller tree for THIS year. It was very much an EXTRA for this year, but it made my Christmas extra special. I felt very loved and remembered and we had a lovely tall tree for church and our home to enjoy. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was beautiful. I've put your names on the tree box so that we will remember this special gift every year. Thank you for your extravagant love.

First Bible Study!

The Bezner house has been busy! We've had a great spring break and a wonderful Easter- and I pretty much stink at updating due to lack of computer time. But I have been aware of what I listed before as prayer requests and those are definitely still the things that we would ask for prayer about.

We have an exciting evening tomorrow as we have our first official Commons Bible study. We will be meeting at the home of Kimberly and Thomas in Fort Worth. Please join us in praying that we listen and follow closely as God leads us.

I'll do my best to update soon and let you know how it went!
