I've picked my sermon series for this fall - a four or five part on the church I'm calling "The Church: God's Simple Ideas" - then, after Thanksgiving I'm planning a four part series on the temptations entitled "Pause".
This year we're thinking of doing our candlelight service, which we normally have on Christmas Eve, on the Sunday morning at our regular assembly time. We hope that many of our spiritually single families can bring their spouses to this special service. The candlelight is a lot work. We can't think of a single person who has been reached through the candlelight service on Christmas Eve.
It's one of those tough questions - do you just do it because a lot of people enjoy it? The church should be about making disicples. If this event isn't doing that, isn't the question already answered? Or it is that simple?
We're about 80% moved into the new building. The new grass is beginning to grow. The landscaping is taking shape. Looking forward to getting all this behind us.
