Many of you might remember several years ago when at the end of a Sunday morning I invited all of our church to take permanent black markers and to write on the wall of our auditorium the names of three people who needed Jesus that we were committing to pray for and invite to church. As a result, every time we walked into church we were reminded to pray for these people who needed to know Jesus.
Well this Sunday we are going to do it again. But this time we are not going to write on the wall of the auditorium but rather on the floor of the vestibule to our new café. Here’s why:
This Sunday we begin our Vision Month here at Grace that we are calling “Foundations.” It is our goal this month to encourage our entire church family to all get on the same foundation when it comes to 8 areas. The foundation areas we are looking at this Sunday is that of getting on board with our purpose and vision as a church.
Part of that vision is our new café that is moving closer and closer to completion. We are really believing God to use this new part of our facility, which will actually be the 2nd largest room in our building, to help us really connect with people so that we can more effectively meet as many people as possible right where they are and help move them to where God wants them to be.
So to help cement this in our life, we are making arrangements for this Sunday only where after each of our three morning services you can take a permanent black marker and go into the vestibule section of our new café and write a prayer on the cement floor before the final flooring is put down over top of it. This way, every time you walk in our new café after it is completed, you will be reminded of that personal prayer that you wrote on the cement floor underneath.
This will also be the Sunday that we pass out the FACE YOUR FEARS yard signs that have on it the special website (www.6fears.net) which draws people to our new series that begins Easter weekend here at Grace. We are asking every family in our church to put one of these signs in their yards. If you own your own business, we would love for you to take a yard sign for the yard outside your place of business as well. Be sure to get your sign this Sunday. This Sunday will also have some other fun elements because as we think about the purpose and vision of our church we want this to be a creative and celebratory atmosphere. As a result, look for the characters of the upcoming musical for Lititz Christian School (LCS) being in the auditorium before the service passing out balloons and popcorn. This year’s LCS musical is Seussical (featuring the many stories of Dr Seuss). The set for the musical will also be up and the cast will be performing one of their songs to start off each of our three services. We also have some great worship music that will be part of this exciting morning as we encourage everyone to get on board with the purpose and vision of Grace Church.
So come prepared this Sunday to celebrate. Come prepared to write a prayer on the floor of our new café. And come prepared to take home a Face Your Fear sign and stick it your front yard.
