"lit"
Ok, so people actually came out to a nightclub on a cold Sunday morning in the northeast to hear about Jesus-what next?
Imagine that actionchurch is a fire...a little fire. We lit a few matches in December and January with our test drive services, but yesterday the fire was actually "lit". We have a couple of choices...we can go all "castaway" and just jump around and celebrate that we finally lit a fire. (I think that's fine for a few minutes- I definitely pumped a fist in the air as I drove away yesterday afternoon) We could also try to "protect and maintain the little fire". We could sit around and "warm ourselves" and enjoy the relationships and "fellowship" of having a little fire... OR we could feed the little fire and use the energy released to benefit the entire York community!
That's the plan. It's simple. This is just the beginning. Every person who chooses to come to actionchurch could potentially "join in our reindeer games" of putting the teachings of Jesus into action by serving others. We serve others like Jesus did both individually and as a larger group, when we gather to serve the community. Every person we come in contact with benefits by our efforts and might even potentially join us. Everyone is better off because Jesus is still alive and actionchurch exists. The fire spreads...
46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved. Acts 2:46-47
