Greetings from the West Coast! Welcome to our blog. We are excited to be launching this after much thought about updating everyone back home with how we are settling in, how Jesus is working in the City, and any other thoughts or writings we deem post-worthy. Feel free to interact as much as you would like.  On that note, our first post is actually a link to the Redemption SF website which has a short synopsis of our time here so far. If you have some extra time, check out the other blog posts on there and the rest of the website to get an idea of how things are going with the Redemption Church launch.  http://redemptionsf.com/mysanfrancisco_thesunset/ Thanks for visiting!
