We Love you guys and gals,
Thinking about why we do church the way we do it(the best way). Because God called us to it. If Jesus has you thinking about church please join us for a meal for an Easter supper and to fellowship. We have a gathering every Sunday night at 6 pm. This Sunday would be a great time to come check us out. We will talk about what Jesus is doing in everyone’s life and the greatest gift He has ever given us!
Love to see you!
Here is an excerpt from a book I am reading online:
Rethinking American Church
I don't believe this is something I would have ever come
up with. I liked American Church. I did. I liked being
able to hide in the back and come in and do my thing,
my relationship. But I don't really like hanging out with
a lot of people. I'm just being honest with you. I'm more
of an introvert.
What happened was I started studying the scriptures
and looking at scripture. It always bugged me, because
you would read scripture and you would see one thing,
but then you would go to a church and you would see
something else. And now, everyone's just going, "I'm
done with that."
There was a unity, a love in the scriptures that we just
don't see in church as we've been doing it. This whole
what we're calling missional community thing, people
have asked me, "Hey, well, you're just doing it because
it's the emergent thing." But, I am not emergent.
People say, "Are you this movement? Are you this
movement? Are you this movement?"
And I go, "I don't know, man. I just read the Bible.”
Maybe we're regurgent. Whatever, this is what they did.
There it is again. I'm not trying to come up with
anything new. When I read the scriptures, this is what
I'm convicted about, of the way the church ought to
look.
