Hi Everyone!
I just published the SVC recap message to our FaceBook page. I tried to both give you a recap of what we spoke about last week at our zoom meeting as well as a little more background on how I came to this idea. In the time between that meeting and now I was also reminded of a prophetic word that Vineyard USA has been rallying around for the past year and a half that seems to fit well with where we are. It is from Jeremiah 6:16:
This is what the Lord says: “Stand where the roads cross and look. Ask where the old way is, where the good way is, and walk on it. If you do, you will find rest for yourselves.
Contained within my message is a brief message from Phil Strout, the National Director of Vineyard USA where he shares how the word was given to him and what it means for the Vineyard movement.
I really want to encourage you to give me your feedback on this. I welcome confirmations, contradictions, and your questions. It came together a bit longer than I was expecting, but I wanted to be as thorough explaining as I could be. The video is 30 minutes. Thank you for taking the time and for your feedback. The video can be found here:

A virtual hug!
Chris.
