We are finding rhythms and learning the realities of living together, but we are still very much settling. We have seen God's provision in bringing us the residents that He desires for this year. As of this post, we are thrilled to announce to you that our residents are Greg Jensen, Scott Yaremko, Eric Braun, Miranda Comely, and Mandi Reynolds. We will be searching for Jesus' best as we focus on living as his disciples in community. We have looked for and have already seen His goodness in the sometimes dirty details of doing other peoples' dishes, power outages, different meals that we may like or that might disgust us, camping trips, crazy work schedules, no work schedules, and living in the reality that we are all very different and yet we are called to the same community house for this coming year.
In the Message, after Peter shares with those that would listen, Acts 2:42 says of those that heard the news, "They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers."
This is the way some of the earliest followers of Jesus responded to the great news of what Christ had done. We feel in good company, and we're wondering if these historical followers felt any more settled than we do...
If you would, please check in to this blog on Fridays for updates on how Christ is moving here among the residents of Life Together Calgary. We hope to share funny stories, hard stories, stories of God's goodness and grace, and any photos or videos that help communicate those stories.
The one thing that has certainly settled in is our excitement for what God can do here...

This site needs some HTMLovin'.... Lookin' a little sloppy. Aren't most of you guys unemployed right now? You should have lots of time to make it pretty.... ;)
i've got NO idea how to do all that business...
You have to put pictures of yourselves up like us cool people. i.e. Gavin and Me.
Unlike the rest of the comments..I'm just glad that there is something posted!! I will eagerly await the weekly posts to see how God is at work in this community.
Fancy.
That's a sweet photo. I'd also like to point out that it was taken in Winnipeg. Just saying, maybe you ought to take a "trip together" across the wide prairie.
"trip together"
that sounds like a great idea, kristina!
hilary also wanted to get a horse for the house and we could then call it "horse together"
you two are visionaries, i say.
You're spoiling the illusion, Kristina. The only reason that photo was used is because there wasn't a talented photographer around to take an authentic Calgarian picture....
