I'm really looking forward to tomorrow for a number of reasons. Sundays are always great at Eastside, and Jarrod's series in Mark... ChristFollowers... has been both inspiring and convicting. Tomorrow he'll be unpacking the time Jesus had to tell his disciples that he had more followers than just the twelve... that if they aren't against them, then they're with them. What a wonderful text to explore in the wake of Katrina... as we see brothers and sisters of all traditions joining hands to bring aid and comfort. God, please use this time to revive a true spirit of faithful unity in your children. I'm also looking forward to our worship... to creating a context for communing and for looking at that text.
Sunday night we will reconvene our monthly Reunion service after a summer break. We call our small groups Family Circles, so when we gather our FCs on the first Sunday night of the month for worship, we call it Reunion. Our worship includes singing, prayer, meditation, and several "hands on worship stations." We started doing this in the spring, and we've had a really good response. One of our stations last spring was to put together a "snack pack" in a gallon zip lock, then keep it in your car to give to someone on a street corner at a stop light. Our folks really liked that one, so we're doing that one again... only more packs. I'll try to write how things go tomorrow.
God bless... have a great Sunday. Keep praying for the gulf coast.

The snack pack thing is a great idea. I've often wished I had something tangible to give people, rather than money, and this sounds like just the thing. I'm looking forward to this!
