Imagine this...Christmas

This weekend we kick-off a brand new series called "Imagine this...Christmas." It is so easy to get caught up in all of the chaos and craziness of this season. However, we are supposed to be using this time to prepare for the coming of Jesus.
What would happen if we tried to imagine living into the real point of this month? This week we will look at moving from the chaos put on us by culture and living into the peace of Christ.
This is a great time to invite those people in your circle of influence at work, school, or your neighbor. People are more open to attending a worship service during Advent than any other time of the year. Take a risk and invite someone to join you this weekend in worshipping God at Charter Oak Church.

...or at any Bible based Christian church...

That would be great, if you don't live around Charter Oak Church and you read this blog, go for it.

...or even if you do live around that church...it isn't the one true church...

Who said that it is? I am one of the pastors of Charter Oak Church. This is written for the people of Charter Oak Church. So why wouldn't I ask them to invite people to come here?

This isn't a competition thing. This is about being faithful and obedient to what God is calling me and the people of Charter Oak Church to be about. There are 33,000 people within a five mile radius of Charter Oak Church that do not attend any church. We are called to make disciples of Jesus, that begins by building relationships with people and then inviting them to worship. That's what I am asking our people to do.
