I apologize for not blogging these last few days. God has been on the move, and my attention has been diverted to other things. I'll continue our Love Dare tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile, City on a Hill Church has been given some wonderful opportunities to impact our community. Last Saturday, the local newspaper published an article about us. You can read it here. I'll take a moment to address the obvious miscommunication regarding being "seeker sensitive". Every church that is interested in reaching its community is seeker sensitive to varying degrees. City on a Hill Church has a heart and passion for reaching and impacting Culpeper, especially those who don't currently know the Lord.
On Saturday morning, we gave out nearly $100 in postage stamps to our community. One lady asked me, "Why are you doing this?" I responded, "To show God's love in a practical way." She said as she took the stamps from me, "I'll take practical!" Most everyone in our community needs practical help and relevant ministry in these trying times. That's what Jesus did! He met the practical needs (feeding, healing, etc.) of those He encountered.
This Friday, we're partnering with New Salem Baptist Church for some Harvest Festival fun!
Next Tuesday (Nov 4) @ 6:30pm, we're hosting Rick Heeren to lead the community in a discussion about transforming Culpeper into a unified, reconciled community that is centered in Christ. Everyone is invited to this event, but we need you to RSVP to info(at)cityonahillculpeper(dot)org.
Lastly, we're hosting our first service at our new, permanent facility this weekend located at 405 Sperryville Pike.
Check out our website as its been updated to be a little more user friendly and have more content that is relevant to how we're reaching our community!
