Sunday Night Worship is Here!
Posted on Monday, August 16th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
Young people and families are ‘checking out of church’ at faster rates than ever before. Various barriers have kept many away from experiencing real community amongst Christians, or many are simply tired of the traditional forms and structures, wanting more personal relationships they can count on. A few of us from Lake Community Church’s Acts 1:8 local mission, and Epic Student Ministry, are hoping to reach this 16-35 age demographic, communicating a biblical and clear message of doing church in a different way, to reach these disenfranchised, non-traditionalists.
Epic Sunday Nights will be LCC”s ‘satellite service’ hosted at Alexandria Technical Community College, 6:30pm-7:30pm starting Aug 29. Gathering around drinks and snacks at cafe tables, people will be encouraged to encounter God through the Gospel and His Word. We’ll share together the ups and downs of following Jesus, and be encouraged to care for one another during the week. Our student focus at Jefferson Senior High and Alex Tech Community College, will give us opportunities to see many young people raised up as the core of God’s mission to a lost world. Our goal is to see people welcomed into real relationships, growing as Jesus’ disciples together.
For a more detailed look behind the philosophy of this new ministry, please read Pastor Jeff’s blog titled ‘recommunity’ here. If you’d like to discuss Epic Sunday Nights with Jeff and his core team from LCC, please email him at jeff@lakecommunity.org.
Above all, pray for these Sunday nights beginning August 29th at ATCC. Pray for many young people and families to be encouraged and challenged by Gods Word, and loved in real relationships!
