Sunday, November 7
We have been doing a lot of thinking and talking lately about the direction God would have our church go in. It's right and proper that we should be deliberate about this stuff. We're going to have some difficult decisions to make and we want to make them well.
But all of that inward focus can be a real problem for us. So this Sunday we are going to focus on the person of Jesus Christ. We are going to reacquaint ourselves with him personally, doing our best to get beyond ourselves, and beyond the plastic Jesus of our careless piety. He's flesh and blood and we need to touch him. He's loud and living and we need to hear him. He's warm and moving and we need to follow him.
We are going to dispense with our usual order of service and I'll invite some participation. And after the service we'll provide an opportunity for those who aren't ready to leave to go on worshiping in the sanctuary for a time.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
