We launched the new worship service at Cornerstone Family Church, called 63rd and Park. We served food before service and created a space for people to interact with each other and relax. Following this theme, we maintained a space for people to hang out and share in their experience after the service. The success of this atmosphere surpassed all that I had hoped to see, and people really took advantage of the opportunity to get to know each other and, as we say around here, “do life together.” One thing that Saturday night confirmed to me was this; when you create an atmosphere for people share in their experience, they will. As we continue in this new ministry, we are excited for the opportunity to reach more people who are now unreached, and help ALL people find and live their lives in Christ, bridging ethnic, cultural and denominational lines.
Some things that resonated with me after Saturday:
- God is in this journey with us that we just embarked in
- Pastor was dead on when he cast the vision to bridge generations through a new service
- We have a tremendous pastor who continually proves his faithfulness to God and his staff
- Pastor trusts the team that he has assembled to carry out the vision of this church
- We will always be effective when we submit to authority that is submitted to authority
Dude, I’m so proud of you!
