We had to cancel services at Grace Community Church this Sunday because God decided to drop 7 glorious inches of snow on our city this weekend. My family has loved the snow and the time together but all of us agree…we will miss being with our spiritual family at GCC! I love that I feel like that! My family loves being a part of the church that I work at. As a pastor’s kid who grew up hating going to church, and it is such a blessing to finally hurt a little inside when we have to miss. So what to do on Sunday since we can’t gather…why not have a party of our own! Several of us in our neighborhood are going to gather together for breakfast before we head out to play in the snow with our families. Snow or no snow GCC folks will gather all over our city to do what is the heart of what church should be, to be in community. I love what we do on Sunday morning’s but the heart of church happens each week through community groups. Every time we have had to adjust Sunday schedules at GCC it has been fun to watch people still gathering in community to be together. At the heart of “church” is the idea of living life with other people, following Christ with other people, being together. So sure we won’t gather Sunday at Rossview High School, but as we gather in our small huddles, connect with our families, hang out with our neighbors, spend time alone in prayer and Bible Study, visit another congregation, or watch a service online God will be lifted high. Stoked about starting a new series at GCC next Sunday…DO NOT MISS IT!
