More than a week off
This Sunday (10/18) we do not have Sunday Worship Service. The reason we don’t have service this Sunday is because Indian Creek already had an event booked when we did our contract with them; however, this is not the last time we will not have Sunday Worship Service at Relevant.
3-4 strategic times throughout the year will will NOT meet for Sunday Worship Service. If you have been going to church for anytime, your immediate next question is probably, “what are you going to do instead?” Are you ready for the answer…NOTHING! Here’s why.
God reminds us again and again that we need to have rest. He even commanded it in Exodus 20 in the 10 Commandments. A lot of work and people are involved to run a Sunday Worship Service (especially when you don’t have your own building). Week after week people come early to set everything up, serve to make the service happen, lead in Relevant Kids, and stay late to break everything down. It is easy to run people like crazy and never give them a break. The reason we are going to take 3-4 Sundays off throughout the year is to REST. We want to give people breaks and allow them just to stay home, spend time with family, sleep in, and rest…without worrying about a Sunday Service.
That being said, I want to thank every person at Relevant who works so hard to ensure that the Sunday Worship Service happens. It is an honor serving side by side with you. This Sunday, I challenge you to REST. Don’t feel guilty for not being at church. Sleep in if you need it. Laugh with your family if that is needed. Spend some time in the Bible if that is needed. Just rest and enjoy life.
See everyone on the 25th!
