State of Ignite

May 19th, Ignite Church held its first "State of Ignite" meeting, for anyone who wanted to attend.  The evening started with prayer, a dinner together, a time of worship, and Dirk Bichsel sharing his exciting "Impact the World" story about his recent trip to Africa.  After that, we reviewed the new budget for the year, as well as the vision and mission of Ignite.  Steve also shared a summary of what's been happening over the past 16 months.  Here's what he said...
