Seeking & Sharing God’s Love, Truth & Grace

January 12, 2020

Super Sunday
Today the Texans play the Chiefs for the possibility of making it one step closer to the Super Bowl on February 2. I am a Chief’s fan, but also a Texan’s fan, so it is hard to know who to root for.
I titled this article, “Super Sunday” because on February 2, it is not only the day of the Super Bowl, but we are also encouraging everyone to GO and invite a friend/neighbor/colleague/enemy to worship with you that morning.
After our time worship together, we are encouraging you GO out (or in) with them for lunch and share a meal together. Maybe you attend first service and can GO in or out for brunch with them. Maybe you come to second service and have something to do afterwards, how about GOing out with them for breakfast?
GO and be creative in how you can spend time together, before or after our worship time.
Over the next week or so, be thinking and praying about who you would like to invite to GO with you to worship on February 2. Let’s make it a SUPER SUNDAY. Oh, and GO Chiefs. I mean Texans. Oh well, either way my team will win
