Game On, Church On
Yes, we are having church tomorrow. Perhaps we’ll be the only church in town gathering together for worship. Today in the thick of it all, our family made a trip to the grocery store. The weather didn’t keep anyone from heading out to get bread, milk, or even a Redbox movie. It’s not going to keep me from worshiping God.
If the Superbowl was going on here tomorrow, let’s be honest…we’d be there. Actually the weather would only add to the excitement. Tomorrow will be one of those mornings we will remember for a long time.
Who knows, since it looks like we’ll be the only church gathering together tomorrow, perhaps it will give us a unique opportunity to meet some people who’ve never been to Essential before.
We’ll be continuing our series “The Search”. This week we will be looking at Ecclesiastes 4 and the message title is, “The Search for Community.” There’s a great book on the decline of personal relationships called Bowling Alone. It’s centered on the statistic that although bowling has become America’s #1 participatory sport with an increase of 10% over the last 25 years, bowling leagues have dropped by 40%. In other words, more people are bowling, but their bowling alone.
In the midst of Solomon’s search for meaning and purpose in life, he devotes a whole chapter on the value of relationships. On a day when most people will be home alone, what a perfect message to have planned.
Drive slow and safe, I hope to see you there.
