Gathering at the Well Blog
So why a blog? The Internet is filled with ’em. Who needs another one?

 

Great question but the answer is really very simple. A blog is an informal way for the congregation at WellSpring Community Church to express their faith in a relatively informal setting. This is especially true for the church leaders. Drawing an image from the Wizard of Oz, a blog allows the rest of the world a glimpse behind the curtain into the minds, hopes, and visions of the church as well as serve as a mechanism of uplifting support.

Here we can share insights new and old that inspire us to draw closer to God, to take up the cross of Jesus Christ, and to encourage to surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit. We may also address current news topics of interest and the seemingly random but always planned ways that God helps us look more directly at our relationship with Him.

In many respects, the blog is a gathering around a well of living water where the community meets in fellowship and hope. Drink from the Living Water and be refreshed forever!
