We had our annual "Great Gobble Giveaway" this weekend, giving away 200 food boxes and 229 turkeys to families in the community. This is a tremendous outreach that many in our city count on every year. Our school does a food drive to fill the boxes and our church gets the turkeys. We invite people to a service and hand out the food afterwards.
It was standing room-only Saturday night for the illustrated message, "iListen".
Our guests were really into the whole service. The band and media team were amazing all weekend. Our outreach team, led by Pastor Brad Oyler, did a great job as usual. Sat. night alone saw between 75-100 adults come forward to begin or renew a relationship with Christ.
Sunday we did it all again (twice!) followed by an all-church dinner, serving about 400 people.
Events like this don't just happen. It takes a lot of teamwork, a lot of planning, and a lot of prayer. Thanks to all our pastors, staff, volunteers & contributors who made it possible.
Using secular music within the backdrop of a TV game show ("Don't Forget The Lyrics") may not be something a lot of churches would do. But, we must remember that The Message is Sacred, Not the Method. If we really want to reach the lost, we've got to take creative risks once in a while and let the Holy Spirit do the rest!
