This Sunday, January 17th, will be what we are calling Friends & Family Preview Sunday. Even though Branches Church hasn't "officially" opened its doors yet, we want to be ready for our "Grand Opening" on February 14th. One way we are going to do that is to share our vision and purpose and the way we do church with our friends and families, giving them a survey to fill out and evaluate their experience of attending a Branches Church service.
The principle is, we shouldn't do life alone. God made the Body of Christ to be relational and not just with each other, or other churches; but in using the hope that is within us and our generosity of spirit with relationships, families, friends, and businesses in our community. Sunday Church doesn't exist for God, it exists for people and we're going to do our best to get that right from the beginning.
So invite your friends and families, no obligation, but we do need their support with understanding and their input in order to measure our vision and purpose with the needs of the world around us. We have plenty of room, coffee, food, and chairs. The music will be fun, the children will have fun and learn, the day will be filled with hope and joy in the Holy Spirit.
The topic of the day is: Why Branches Church? Because We Shouldn't Do Life Alone.
It was a great day! So thankful for friends and family and being able to share what we're about with them.
