Why You Should Choose 11:30


This Sunday we add a third Sunday morning service here at Grace Church. Our new service times will be as follows:

1st service – 8:30-9:35

2nd service – 10:00-11:05

3rd service – 11:30-12:35

We expect the middle service to be packed and we are encouraging as many as possible to consider making the 8:30 or 11:30 services the worship service that you attend. But why should you especially consider choosing the 11:30 service this Sunday? Let me offer you some great reasons to help convince you:

· You can sleep in late on Sunday!

· You will have time to read the Sunday Newspaper before coming to church!

· You can have a big breakfast before coming to church!

· There will be less of a crowd making premium seating more readily available!

· You will no doubt be able to park closer to the church and not have to walk as far!

· The 11:30 service will be smaller and much more informal!

· At times we will be unwrapping some surprises during the 11:30 service that the first two services will not get to experience!

· I will have already had two services to see if people laugh at my jokes so that the only ones that get used during the 11:30 service are the ones that work!

· We will still be offering our full Elevate and Elevate Jr Programs as well as nursery care for children of all ages during this service!

· You will be home in plenty of time for the 1:00 kickoff of the football games!

· If you are eating out for lunch, you shouldn’t have to wait for seating as restaurants will begin clearing out as you arrive!

· By attending the 11:30 service you will help to free up seats for our fuller service which will likely be the 10:00 service!

OK, for the good of all humanity, my family will give it a try. Maybe it's the line about getting only the best jokes.... :)

As a Browns fan, are you sure you want to add that as an incentive? Why put your people through the misery? hahaha.

Great to see your church moving! We often talk in our staff meetings about the things going on there --- so let everyone know what you are doing there is motivation and encouragment for other churches as well!

Hey Magic Mike! Always good to hear from you! Now, listen, I get enough grief over being a Browns fans from people out here in PA - I don't need it from someone who lives in Northern Ohio too! Thanks for the encouragement, brother! Blessings to you and you wife!

Does that mean that the 11:30 service will be shorter...Since the jokes will be eliminated?

Pastor Scott said...

Ah Marlin and Sue - just for that I am going to add three jokes to whatever service you attend!!!
