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.

Care Center.

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.

Just read that scientist believe an octopus can be right or left handed. Stupid scientists–an octopus doesn’t have hands!!!!

E-mail to those "Left Behind"

June 06, 2008 By: Ryan Category: Church, God

My sister sent me this story this morning and I am glad she did.  I thought this was VERY interesting and the fact that Fox News is reporting on it intrigues me as well.

Apparently, you can send an e-mail, 62 days after the Rapture, to those who are left behind.  You can tell them that you love them, warn them or whatever you feel is important for them to know.

Please click on the link below for all the details:

E-mail those Left Behind

I would also love to hear your comments on this:

1.  What do you think about the concept?

2.  What would you write to those left behind?

3.  Who would you specifically send it to?
