March 28, A Place for Everyone: Everyone is Invited

The final week of A Place for Everyone we are going to take a look again at how important it was for Jesus that we all know that we are invited to share this life and eternity with Him. It was so important that He gave His life to make that possible.

We are all invited to do life with Him. Will we?

What arts elements could help us tell this incredible story on Palm Sunday?

March 21, A place for Everyone: Everyone is Included

Imagine a church where people - all people - are welcome. Not a church just for church people. What would that look like?

What if church really was designed to be a place where everyone could come and not feel judged, not feel excluded but instead feel like they are a valued participant?

Cypress Meadows strives to be exactly that sort of a place.

What arts elements do you think of that would communicate this mission?

March 14, A place for Everyone: Everyone is Important

We say it all the time,

"there's not a person you will lock eyes with that is not important to God."

What does that look like in how we treat others? What does that look like in how we live our own life?

If we are important to God, if we are so important to God that He has a plan for our lives are we living our lives accordingly. Are we investing ourselves, our gifts and our strengths in His plan for our lives?

What arts elements can you think of that would help raise these questions?

Results of our Planning Day

Thanks to Anonomous (I know who you are! :)) and to the planning team for your input and thoughts as we worked to layout a general plan for 2010 weekend services.

I'm excited to say that we have some topics on the table for the year with the clear understanding that we will leave room for change if we feel God is calling us to do so.

I will roll out some of the topics here so you all can start your creative wheels spinning with ideas for the series.

Finances - Balanced is the packaging for this and it will be heavily based on the Northpoint series of the same name
Evangelism - Everybody
Reaching personal potential
Characters of the Bible - similar to a series by Granger called UNrated

OK, that should give you plenty to start your wheels spinning. I'll post weekly titles etc. later.

Thank you again for all your input and creativity!
