Dwell/ing BTV

We are not meant to be self-sufficient - life in community is a better life than one of isolation. - @PastorChrisSeay
As Zach has said in the past, Dwell's origins were found in homes - homes filled with people who genuinely loved Jesus and loved each other. We have continually seen that God does not want us to "go it alone"; just as He is a community (the 3-in-1), so are we to simply 'be' community - engaging each other relationally, preferring each other over ourselves and our own needs, carrying each other's burdens, and simply doing life together as He directs our steps.
And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. - Acts 2:42-47
As the Dwell community has grown, our desire for this close-knit feeling of community has only intensified. We currently have 3 intentional hangouts mid-week called Dwell/ings; this particular Dwelling happens every Tuesday night at 7:30pm in Burlington. We talk together, eat together, laugh together, encourage each other, pray with and for each other, and open up our Bible's together in hopes that God will meet us where we are and lead us forward as one, unified community - and that is exactly what He does.
Here are some pictures from a recent get-together at the Hoag/Marsh abode in the South-end of Burlington.
I no longer want to see people choosing to go it alone, choosing a worldly, cavalier “freedom” that masquerades as liberty but actually isolates them from the full provision of God’s grace. - @jimhoagvtI feel so blessed to have been 'grafted in' to this amazing gospel community and cannot wait to see how God shapes us and uses us for His Kingdom in the future. If you ever want to become a part of what God is doing at Dwell here in Burlington please contact us and we will make sure it happens.
