Our church family will be together out on the lawn this coming Sunday, breaking our corporate fast with breakfast! Worship will be at 10:30 a.m. We'd love to have many people bring their instruments and lead music for the service, a big "come one, come all" musical jam. If you'd be willing to join in a low-key music leadership group, come at 8:45 a.m., pick up some simple guitar chord charts (other instruments will be on their own), and have some time to practice.
But worship isn't our only gathering-come at 9:30 a.m. and bring a box of your favorite cereal to share as we eat and enjoy each others' company. If you're able, read 2 Chronicles 30:1 through 31:1. This will serve as a sort of theme
for the morning. After calling Judah to fast and repent, in chapter 30 King Hezekiah invites everyone in Judah to celebrate the Passover, which has been neglected for a very long time. It becomes a big party, a celebration of God. And it leads to action and commitment; by the time they leave, the people have reaffirmed their faith in God, and they go home and tear down the places of idol worship in their hometowns.
We want to break our fast with a party! Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate and reaffirm our commitment to God and
have that party lead to action and commitment as individuals and a community. So come join us on the lawn!
