This past Friday Night was incredible. It felt like we were more on mission as a church than ever before.
Friday Nights at McMenimans have always been about living out the relational side of the church... so that... others may know Jesus by the way we love each other. (John 13:35) Many stories unfolded of how friends and neighbors were invited to come experience the church and their comments on how noticeable the love this church has for people. What they witnessed was us demonstrating exactly what Christ offers us... redeemed relationships.
As I walked around, because there were not enough seats, I heard conversations that led to opportunities to share of Jesus being the reason behind why we want to be relational. Kids were laughing, people were making new friends, and even those that work at McMenimans shared how different Kingship is to host. My favorite highlight was to see people praying with each other over everyday life. We demonstrated what life with Christ looks like without making it a rehearsed presentation. People noticed how genuine the love was that they experienced.
We have been doing McMenamins for a while now and to see the current fruit that is being produced is a testament to Christ's work in us. Let us stay excited with what He is doing and continue to reach out to those that God has put in our lives - to bless and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
