Plastered

Today I spent my afternoon plastering "Change Your Mind About Church" cards up and down York Road on community bulletin boards in various businesses. It felt strange. I have never put anything on a community bulletin board before. My husband chauffeured me around, which made the job much easier. I still have a pile in my car, along with thumbtacks, so that I can seize other opportunities when I am out and about.

This is so far out of my comfort zone. But we must lean in to these challenges, or rather, lean out of our comfort zones, to move forward. Forward mobility is never characterized by true comfort, at least not in my limited experience. Training for a sport is not "comfortable." Having a child is certainly not "comfortable." Even great life experiences that we don't usually associate with pain, like getting married, are not marked by great comfort all of the time, and the discomfort of learning to become one, when we used to be two, can be significant.

If you have the guts, step out of your comfort zone and email, Twitter, or Facebook this blog post to someone who you think might be in a position to change their mind about church (and maybe even those who aren't, but might be curious about what the heck we are up to).

If you are the recipient of this blog post against your will, thanks for reading this far. Now read this:

Change Your Mind about Church

What if you could change your mind about Church?

What if you could find a Church that's not even in a Church and definitely not for Church people?

What if you could find a Church for people who don't like Church?

Church of the Nativity is hosting casual, contemporary worship services where you'll find a friendly, low key environment, good music and a relevant message that's not about Church or religion. It's about getting to know God.

Join us Sundays at 10:30am beginning February 21.
