Friday Night Sit and Soak
We have implemented what we are currently calling Friday Night Sit and Soak. All it is really is an opportunity for encounter. We play music from 7 – 9. A person can come and go and they please. There is music, worship flags, study tables, bean bags, camp chairs, and GOD! We had been doing this off and on for a number of months just among a few of us, but in December we opened it up to the community. It is a great chance to set aside time just to be with Him, to love on Him, to worship Him.
I believe worship is the place of encounter. And one cannot encounter the Living God without something changing. Worship is the place where my life was changed and transformed. Oh, I’ve got a bit to work on, but this is where my true growth started and this is where it will continue. You see worship adjusts our focus to Him and suddenly we are not focusing on ourselves and our stuff. There is a line in a Jonathan Helser song, God is Love, that says, “Look how small our fears are, from up here, up here in His heart. Look how small the enemy is, compared to our God, compared to His heart.” We suddenly have a new perspective and when we are side by side with His heart, our hearts begin to beat with His – we begin to hear His heart - and our heart changes forever.
If you are in our community come join us. You will never be the same! If you are out of state or out of country – find a place of encounter. It can be your home, your car, your church, anywhere. But the point is to be intentional! —Katie
