We have had our preview services, made adjustments with every service...and probably will continue to do so. We don't have a road map. Other services around the country have church at tables but don't have the 5-10 minutes of quite time. Other services I know of have 30-60 minutes of contemplation time but no tables. Still others have all the elements except the secular music (we don't use traditional Christian music.) Very few I know of have a service outreach element right in the service. We are starting a new thing here. Spread the word. If you know people that "don't do church" or were burned by church, tell them about it. It might be their thing. If you have a church community, good for you! This might seem very different to you. It might not even seem like church...for some people, that is a good thing!
We have had enough success to make us happy, enough challenges to keep us humble. Great turn out. Maybe people just want to see what all the fuss is about but that's o.k. I think people dug the vibe. What I know is that our service project (making sack lunches for day laborers) fed over 100 people the NEXT day. THAT made the whole service worth it. Anyway, if you came by to experiance it last Sunday I would love to hear your thoughts...even if it hurts. Thanks to all for the support. Next service will be Sunday @ 5pm. Hope to see ya then. For people that don't want to go to the website, the services are at St. Andrew Untied Methodist Church 3350 White Bay Dr. Highlands Ranch, CO 80126 ( on University Blvd. a few miles south of C-470 on the right)
