Creative Elements this week: The focus was on People Jesus Met. We had an actor (from another church) portraying a homeless man, who sat on the bench with his shopping cart outside the front door of church as people entered today. He purposefully wouldn’t interact with people.
Very interesting to see peoples reactions. It was one of those elements that would either fly or fall flat on it’s face. It flew. People where talking to him, praying for him, bringing him food, offering help; one man wouldn’t even go into the service, he didn’t want to leave him.
We have an amazing congregation.

I always love the creative elements in your services. Love visiting to check out your setlists.
I would have been blown away by testimony from folks who had been homeless. I've heard a couple speak before and it just makes it something you canNOT walk away from.
Thank you for coming by.
I appreciate your comments on the creative elements, since it is really what I do...
I always enjoy reading about your creative elements. This one was a really great idea! I would have loved to have been there and seen people's reactions.
Great set-list!
