Kate & I went to the PCO Women's Home today for a brunch gathering with the PCO staff and other local inner-city pastors.1st--great spread! omelettes made to order, half the size of our plates with breakfast sides galore. thanks guys and gals for your hospitality and your servant's hearts!
2nd--great group of pastors. each with a heart for seeing the Church (that's capital "C") in the city coming together to fulfill its mission. there's a kindred spirit & encouragement to break bread, or in this case, eggs, with others working toward the same goal.
3rd--great tidbit--there are 88 separate communities in Pittsburgh. charm and challenge all in that little fact. much to be experienced, much to do!
4th--great laughs--there's nothing like recounting stories of shared experiences-and being able to look back on all of them with laughter.
5th--great hope--being given to the residents of the men's & women's homes. you can see a sense of relief, belonging and purpose in each of them. Pastor Brian & Angie & their staff do amazing work by giving literally their day-to-day lives to affect others with hope, truth, compassion and meaning--self-less-ly
thanks for letting Network of Hope be a part of it all and thanks for a GREAT DAY!
