Chilling With My Friends

Tonight at Beyond was fun for me.

I enjoy experimenting and wanted to offer a different experience tonight than we have in the past.

I left the room cold, like heat in the low 50s, and took out all the chair.

Simple blankets and sleeping bags on the floor, and no sound system.

Those leading worship played with their backs to a wall, and a guitar case set in front of them accepting "tips."

We talked about people who need to beg for food, drinks, clothing, shelter and such; thus we went with the homeless on the streets feel.

We ended up taking an offering in the guitar case to help feed impoverished people in other countries.

I enjoyed the experiment and look forward to offering other "experiences" that help make a point to the teaching. Don't know that this one came across as well as I wanted it to, but enjoyed the effort.

Next week: mirrors.
