Fastest growing large cities
Austin was recently identified as the third fastest growing large city in the United States. If you are one of the 19,000-plus who moved here last here, you probably know a thing or two about relocation stress. You can't relocate from one place to another without experiencing both wanted and unwanted change.
As our church prepares to move less than ten miles to our new worship space in Pflugerville, we've been thinking a lot about this. In a brainstorming session, members of our staff began throwing out names of men and women in the Bible who relocated. We stopped when we hit two dozen. Turns out the Bible is filled with the stories of people who discovered that there's transformation in relocation.
Join us as we begin our final message series before relocating from North Austin to Pflugerville. Each week we'll take a different person's story beginning with Abram in Genesis 12. Not only will this series prepare us to move north together but it will speak into each of our lives as we face wanted and unwanted change all the time.

Thank you for sharing about the relocating. For one, our family is moving again. Back to Northern California (I am from Southern California), from the Houston area (we have lived in Oklahoma and Texas most of the last 5 years). This is an area we have never lived in before and of course that is difficult, because we leave behind all the brothers and sisters we know in Christ Jesus and have to learn to trust a new shepherd to watch over our family.
Yet somehow I know the Lord MEANT for me to read this blog tonight. I am so blessed to recall along with you how many characters from the Scriptures did relocate. And I truly know if God is taking me elsewhere, it is because He has a purpose for me to serve for Him. May I fulfill His calling and bless His holy name.
Blessings to you and blessing to your church as you make the move!
