This past Sunday, we learned about the return on your investment in Christ Church. We learned how our collective investment of time, talents, money, and prayer have impacted the world, our local community, and individuals. Without a doubt, Christ Church is impacting the community for Christ, and as our numbers and influence increase, so too will His glory.
I left worship thinking about all the many ways I have been blessed by being a part of this amazing church family. There are the larger events and initiatives of the church in which I've been blessed to be involved. But there are also the little moments, the laughs, the prayers and relationships that have touched me and nurtured my family and me in immeasurable ways.
I think it's these so-called "small" things that foster the depth of love for God through which the "big" things happen. So, let's celebrate our love for each other through a special, social media "Super Bowl of God's Love."
Here's what you do:
1. Think of one thing that someone at Christ Church has done within the past year to make you feel loved, supported, and/or nurtured in your faith. No thing is too small when it's an expression of God's great love.
2. Type this one thing (with as much or little detail as you feel comfortable) in the comment section of the Facebook posting of this blog. (See my comment for an example)
3. When you type your one thing in the comment section on Facebook, be sure to include which service you attend (8:30 or 11:00). If you have never been to worship at Christ Church, plan to come on Sunday, February 2nd and let me know in the comment section whether you'll be coming at 8:30 or 11:00.
Here's what will happen next:
1. The first person to respond on Facebook from each service time will receive a special gift when attending worship on Sunday, February 2nd (one person from the 8:30 service and one from the 11:00 service).
2. The first visitor to respond on Facebook (i.e. someone who does not currently attend worship at Church Church) will also receive a special gift by attending worship on Sunday, February 2nd.
3. Everyone who responds will receive a special blessing (even if you don't attend worship on February 2nd - but we hope you will!).
Let's celebrate God's great love for us by sharing that love with each other. Go Team!!
