We have had some problems growing our Fellowship in Brownsburg, and Deacon Tony and I agreed it has a lot to do with the discomfort that people have coming to worship in somebody’s home. And although Tony and Denise have been generous in their offering, it seemed the time to restart our search for a “place” to meet for worship.
So tonight, instead of hanging out with my wife and Ben at the Noblesville Street Dance, our trusty dog Viper and I got into the car and drove out west. It wasn’t like Lewis and Clark, particularly because I had the air on and his head was out the window. And, though I do not remember history all that well, we were in a Volkswagen, when everyone knows that Lewis and Clark were not…..they drove a Ford. But we saw a lot, driving through the towns of Brownsburg, Avon, Plainfield, and Indianapolis. And, I have some ideas as to what we do next.
You see, we have a lot of people who are interested out there, but when it comes down to brass tacks, they just don’t seem to show up. That means we might want to consider a different plan. Tony will tell you, we already have our best-looking clergy out there, but that apparently is not enough! (Yep, that is a joke….everyone really thinks Fr. Stephen is the best-looking because he is young and he no doubt pays them) But regardless, we want to make things grow out there.
So if you know of a church willing to rent some space, or you are willing to donate thousands of dollars, get in touch with either Tony or me! Holy Spirit is a great opportunity, and my consultant has been out that way and agrees. And who in their right mind could ever disagree with God’s favorite dog……the Golden Retriever?
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
