The Church Has Left the Building

September 01, 2008 By: Ryan Category: Church, Ministry Blogs

This past Sunday, Terry (our Senior Pastor) had a great vision to get the church to think and live “outside the box.”  He challenged the church to be more of a movement than a monument (a reference to Erwin McManus’ book, An Unstoppable Force).

We divided up into three groups and then went out to show the love of Christ in a practical way.  Two groups headed out to homes and passed out batteries for smoke detectors.  My group passed out 20 boxes of Panera bread bagels to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, ems stations, etc.

We don’t know the full results yet, but we do know that seeds were planted and on one Sunday in August, a church in Ohio decided to not only talk the talk but to walk it as well.
