BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY
This weekend see back to Church Sunday, and while I admire the idea (not the fact that it happens on the Glasgow Holiday Weekend) and I am sure it works in places. But it has to be genuine.
You can't have people turning up at Church where people don't really want visitors. There are many places that have the standard 'Do Not Disturb' signs well in display.
Then there have been the Churches I have been to that I wouldn't want to invite people to, because of the disservice they do to the gospel.
What people need is genuine fellowship. A genuine expression of the gospel. A genuine want to be part of the community. A genuine expression of the grace of Jesus.

Not judgement. Not fashion. Not trendy. Not even rap!! (see above)
Just genuine.

This got me thinking about a website I came across not too long ago called Beyond Relevance. It talks about how Church markets itself in the completely wrong way (often quite cheesily), often turning people away instead of attracting!
Check it out at www.beyondrelevance.com, and make sure to watch the video!
