Another reminder that First Sundays of the summer are “off”
Hi everyone.
This is just a reminder that we will not be meeting for the first sundays of the month (i.e., this Sunday, 08/02, and Labor Day Sunday) this summer. For two years now we’ve been saying that church is not a place, a time or an event; it is people (a family or a body). Or to be more specific, it’s God’s people living in God’s world and living out God’s purposes. Many of you were able to experience that last month whether it was connecting with friends who follow Jesus and friends who don’t, spending time with your families, learning what it means to “rest” in our culture here, enjoying a relaxing meal and “unplanned” and uninterrupted conversation with others. There was some great intentionality last month. And all the stories we heard were super positive — some even illuminating the fact that these were experiences that would not have happened at another time during the week or during a “usual” church gathering on Sunday morning.
Hopefully, we’ll all have similar stories to share as we explore what it means to “be” the church together in all the natural places and spaces in which God has set us. If any of you are doing something and would like to invite others (either this Sunday morning or for the weekend), feel free to post below or send out an email.
Have a great week/weekend.
Mike
