Some folks have asked me what's the purpose of the Saturday 5:35 p.m. worship gathering that will be launching this fall.
Well, here it is...
1. to allow us to reach out to more people so that we can share Jesus' love with them and equip them to share his love with others. Reaching out to more people happens simply by adding another time slot and a different day (now if you have to work on Sunday, you have a place you can worship on Saturday!); and it happens by making space especially in our Sunday 10:30 gathering (it is getting to the proverbial 80% capacity and then it looks full).
We don't really have much choice right now, if we want to keep growing, but to add another time slot. I am committed to not building onto our facility until we have it paid for and when your worship space gets near 80% capacity being full, then it starts to not be appealing to people. So, adding another gathering is the way to go! Since I can't see adding one later in the day on Sunday and I really don't want to monkey with the starting times of the two we have. Saturday early evening is the best option.
I am excited about this option and am praying that God will make it successful as we reach out to our community with Jesus' love, peace, and grace!
