Not everyone wants to go to church. But the truth is God isn’t confined to our buildings. You know what? If you read your Bible closely you’ll find God has some interesting thoughts about this subject. Here’s one: We are the building.
We are a moving, breathing, singing, rapping, praying and loving “building” parked once a week outside 336 Arnett Blvd. The people of God have set up camp on the west side of the city of Rochester New York
Thursdays at 7:30pm we put out café tables and chairs. We set up a sound system and a drum set. Mike orders pizza, and we feed, serve and love on the community.
That’s the point of it all, isn’t it? Share the Holy love we’ve been given. Share, by listening and introducing folks to the power of prayer. Share, by taking a stranger’s hand, compassion filling your heart. Here’s the most important part: we do it every week. Every Thursday we set up camp and light our fires. It’s only been a few weeks, and many have been drawn to our heat.
So what happens when the beautiful family of God sets up camp outside the confines of church walls? I intend to tell you all about it.
