Emotion… Experience… Dreams…. The Local Church

Suppose you attended the College Football National Championship Game in 2002 in Tempe, Arizonia. You watched the Ohio State Buckeyes war with the Miami Hurricanes. Let’s say you went with a good friend, Bob. During the first and second overtime, you’re literally shaking with the emotional intensity of the contest. Do you turn to your pal, and say, “My, my, Bob, this oblong-ball contest certainly ‘exceeded expectations.’

OF COURSE YOU DON’T UTTER ANY KIND OF SILLINESS LIKE THAT.

You scream!

You shout!

Expletives ignite the air!

Adjectives and adverbs of the most extreme nature rip the sky assunder!

(To have been present to see it was a…. Dream Come True!)

This was an… Extraordinary Moment.
This was an… Extraordinary Event.

I am an unabashed… Church Lover. I believe that church… can be…. no… should be… Wildly Creative. It can provide… Extraordianary Experiences… for our Staff… for our Guests… for our Members.

The church should exceed expectations… should be an extraordinary moment… should be an extraordinary experience.
