Coming Alive

Today I received some feedback from a buddy of mine who visited The Patio last Sunday.  Although he and I do not share the same beliefs I have a ton of respect for this dude and he gave us some really valuable thoughts.  Sometimes it’s easy for us as Christians to start ”doing church” the way we like it that we completely forget that there is a lot of stuff we do that could make someone like my friend uncomfortable. 

* I’m not talking about stuff like mentioning Jesus.  We are worshipping Him on Sunday morning so that’s not changing.  I mean the stuff that doesn’t matter, that we can change without compromising.

Anyway, after all the input he gave me he concluded by saying, “I’m not a church guy, but I really enjoyed it and would come again if only for the community aspect”

In case you haven’t been reading this blog long or don’t know much about The Patio, we have ONE core value (not 3-7 like most churches).  That one value is “Community”.  We opted with this and this alone so we would be sure to be perfectly clear about what’s important to us.  My friend saying what he did is a huge win for us!
