Roy here.

So... the big question this weekend, and the next two weeks, is "why do church?"

 There are alot of reasons that people go to church: Guilt, obligation, pride, social, looking to find a spouse or a date, etc. etc. But, what is church supposed to be? Why should we gather together and do the things we do in church? What is the church supposed to look like?

I'm sure you all have thoughts on this. I invite anyone to come, and we'll put our heads and our hearts together and dig out the Truth on this one. Afterall, it's kind of important: I still remember one man who's pride had grown so great that he refused to attend any church, because they were all too dumb for him. He also had very little love in his heart, and spent his time preaching on college campuses (which basically amounted to calling the women whores, and generally throwing insults at people). 

Hi Everyone,

This Saturday night is our 20th Christian Artist Night (which means we've completed 5 years of promoting the arts).  We have some great bands, singers, dancers, poets, artists, and more.  Please plan to come and bring a friend.  It is both a night of entertainment and inspiration.

Starting on January 26th, for three weeks, we will be examining the question "Why Do Church?"  There are many people, both inside and outside the church, who question the need to have an organized, corporate meeting.  Some promote the value that it is easier to worship God outside of an organized service than it is in one.  People outside the Christian faith don't see any relevance in a church service.  Has the time come to discontinue corporate celebrations?  If there is a purpose to a central meeting and organization, then what is it?  And is the church today fulfilling that purpose?  These are some of the questions we will be investigating starting January 26th.
