Worship outside

This is where we will be worshiping this Sunday morning (hopefully). Last week we circled the place and prayed over it. I think it would be just awesome to hold all our worship services here (weather permitting). Kind of give that sense of "church without walls."

Although, perhaps that would give a false sense. Because the church isn't where we worship. It's not even the worship service on Sunday (or whatever day you gather to worship).

One of my council members summed it up the other night when he told us he was starting a Bible study where he works. At lunch time, twice a month, everybody in his department (service department at a car dealership) is going to get together for Bible study. He said it's his idea of "church without walls." Yeah... exactly.

Church isn't just about what happens on Sunday. It isn't just about what happens in a particular building on a particular day. It's about God's people being... God's people.

At any rate, the group of God's people I am a part of is going to gather to worship Him under this pavilion this coming Sunday. You know... I really love my church. I love the people that make it up. I have been blessed.

Peace. Revolution.

This Sunday will be good - gathering together to worship should be no other way. I am so thankful for getting to share in this blessing. I think the church outside the walls has got to really be our focus. "The times they are a changin'" is in the air.
