I know…I’m doing it again. I’m using the Blog to promote church activities. I said that I wouldn’t do that too much and this is only my second time, so please allow me this. I am very excited about The Grounds. It all starts this Sunday night at 6:30 PM.
Joe said last Sunday morning that “It’s obvious many of you don’t like our Sunday night service.” The Grounds is far from our “usual” Sunday night service. We will be meeting in the Family Life Center for starters. It will be a relaxed evening…probably shouldn’t wear a suit…unless you want to, but I won’t be (big surprise right?). We will be offering a variety of coffees and teas for you to drink, but it’s not even about the coffee. The Grounds got its name because of coffee “grounds” but has evolved into something much more, something deeper…a reflection of who we were, who we are, and who we are to become in Christ. Here’s the thing. I would like to ask you to try something for Jesus, but if not for Him…for me. I’m asking you to give it three weeks. Come to The Grounds for three weeks…if you don’t like it, don’t come back. We (the church staff) believe that The Grounds will meet a need for building community in our congregation, offer an opportunity to worship with a little different style of music, and to share Christ and our lives together.
The Grounds is designed for all adults, and all the way down to middle school students. We will offer Children’s programming and nursery for your children. We hope to see you Sunday night. Have a blessed weekend.
I thought the “grounds” was great! I really enjoyed the entire evening.
