In the middle of my preparation for Chazown I read a blog entry from my good friend, Tally Wilgis. Tally is the Lead Pastor at Focal Point Church in Chesapeake, Virginia. Tally and I served together at Sonlight Church when I was in Virginia as well. On his blog he wrote the following:
My passion is that we are a church where salvation is a weekly norm, baptisms are a common occurrence, the orphan and widow are cared for and poverty is defeated wherever we see it. The next level for us is to be the church that our city cannot ignore. This church cannot ever be pleased with mere existence. We must rally one another to impact our city with the gospel of Christ.
I'm often guilty however of getting caught up with other things that do not make this passion a reality.
Tally was talking about himself and Focal Point but I couldn't agree with him more. The same passion is here in Nazareth in the Staff and Leadership of The Carpenter's.
If you are a member or attender of The Carpenter's Church, please do whatever you need to do and get to one of our weekend services this week. Please forward this blog post to everyone you know and ask them to come out to one of our services this week as well. It's going to be awesome and you'll see where we are going, why we are going there, what we are doing, why we are doing it, what impact this church is going to have on the community and what part you can play in seeing this vision become a reality.
I believe this could be the tipping point for The Carpenter's Church.
Also, don't be late because the service is jammed packed from start to finish and you won't want to miss a single minute.
