Last week, the First Baptist Church in McKinney, Texas did something quite unusual.
Last week they didn’t have church. Last week they decided to go and be the church.
Pastor Jeff Warren encouraged congregants to NOT come to church on May 3rd, but to participate in one of about 16 Service Projects that they had setup to participate in over the weekend. From sorting books at a book-collection-drive for a local Elementary school to a “Funday” in the park to celebrate life and meet needs of families, the church participated in these events instead of holding their usual church services!
I love it! What an example to their community. What an opportunity to love outside of the walls of the church. I can’t find any information today on “how things went”, but I know that God was pleased by the sacrifices these folks made last weekend to influence their community and to LOVE LOUD!
More information about the church and their “Go and Be” project can be found at their website – http://www.goandbe.org

I’ve been using “Gas Cubby” on my iPod since almost the first day I got the iPod. I just upgraded to the full version ($9.99) because we just put new tires on our minivan and adding that record was my fifth record added to the free version of the application’s LITE version. The LITE version shows a maximum of five records as it is to be used to demo the app.
