I just wanted to make a quick post to ask everyone to pray for our Temporary Occupancy Permit. We are applying today for that permit and should know something this week… This permit from the city would allow us to move into the new facility ahead of the City’s current schedule… Please pray for that process today!

DC Metro,
I have been so proud of you all this past weekend and already this week. Despite the blizzard, we have been mobilized like never before through service to our community. By “being the church” together, we have found opportunities to serve our neighbors, friends, family, and even complete strangers like Jesus.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about check out the quick video here:

I have always been amazed by the idea that we are to become more and more like Jesus in life, but even more amazed by the way that that happens…
It happens when we do what Jesus did.
Congrats again on being the Hands and Feet of Jesus in Blizzard 2010!
What an opportunity to serve Him!
I Can’t Wait to get back together this Sunday at DC Metro Church!
Go God!
pd
PS – Send in your testomies of service!

Awakening: 21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting
To begin the New Year, I want to invite you to join with us for “21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting.” DC Metro Church will be participating in this season of prayer and fasting with over 500 churches across the nation. From January 10th – January 31st we will set aside a season of prayer and fasting to seek the Lord and to:
Believe God for answered prayer to our specific needs
Declare our dependence on God in every area of our lives
Ask for forgiveness for our sins and the sins of our land
Pray for the completion of the Great Commission
Invite the Presence of God in our church and our lives
Cry out to God for revival in our generation and throughout the DC Metro Area
Our passionate prayer is to ignite people, young and old, with a passion for Him throughout the DC Metro Area.
The Bible encourages us to seek Him until He comes. Hosea 10:12 says, “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until He comes and showers righteousness on you.”
For information on fasting, check out this great website from a legendary authority on fasting, Bill Bright. www.billbright.com/howtofast
Get ready for an incredible 2010 as we sacrificially set aside this time at the beginning of the year to regain & grow in our focus on Jesus.

Christmas Confessional:
Sure pumped about Christmas this year, but that is only what I wish I was blogging about today… Lately I have had cause for much reflection on the real reason for the season, Jesus! Are you surprised? This reflection has been prompted by my personal tendency lately to stay as ridiculously busy a possible. I thought that I would take a classic “few days off” and already I feel busier than ever, I mean who really takes “time-off” when they take “time-off?” (Ok forget I said that…) One example of my frantic busyness was last night, when I was so very sick around 10pm. I was so sick that I could not even go to sleep. I was coughing too, and did not want to wake Taryn or the boys up, so what did I do? I got up and started working till the wee, and I mean wee, hours of the morning! Hilarious I know…
Sad but also very true is the fact that only two weeks ago, I remember sharing a point in a Christmas message at church that this is the exact area (busyness) that caused the “Innkeeper” (You remember him, “there’s no room in the inn.”) To Miss –> Jesus. What can I say, most of those messages that the Lord gives me to preach are really just for me… Ok maybe you too…
Ok, so it’s in situations like this that I am always reminded that the real reason I am so busy is that I am trying to do everything on my own instead of letting Jesus be who He really is – God. I Confess.
