PLAY BALL!!
Last night was our first 7th – 12th Grade Game Night in the Life House gym and we weren’t really sure what to expect. We had prayed, planned and worked to get things ready and little by little we saw 20+ youth show up. All of the youth were from our target area – some were already churched and some unchurched. Looking out over the gym watching kids play basketball, pool and pingpong – watching as some “hung out” around the picnic tables for fellowship, watching them eat and drink, laugh and share – really made the night a blessing. Getting to know many of these youth was a joy! We were able to “spread some seeds” and meet them, talk to them, gain some confidence and comfortableness with them and the Life House Church Family believes that those seeds are going to spring up in the near future. Thanks to all the Life House Church Family that were able to come and work this event – It was a success! I’m sure that the next time we have such an event we will see twice the number of youth because many of the ones who came last night said they thought that the building had closed and that a church had taken over and there wouldn’t be anymore game nights — YES AN NO! Yes, there is a new church on the hill – LIFE HOUSE! NO, it’s not correct that there won’t be any more game nights. God has given us this facility to USE for His glory to touch people and seek to reach them for the Kingdom. YES, we are are “business” and our business is to do the work that Jesus did…mix with people, love people, accept people and bring them to the cross!
Now to work and then tonight we will have our second, Outdoor Bible Bash. Pray!! See you here soon. Pastor James
