So, it is happening again. Senior High Rally started around 7pm last night (Friday) and it is still before noon on Saturday and of course the creativity is flowing. This morning the home groups were invited to re-imagine a biblical story and we were inspired to see, hear and incorporate the good news in wonderfully imaginative, humourous and insightful ways.Zachaeus the Raptor and T-Rex Jesus. Noah and his wife booking a vacation on a "Zoo Cruise" gone wrong, but ultimately right. The story of Jonah told in a game of tag. A commercial for that new healing product "Jesus Touch" gel including the requisite list of side effects (except in this case they were all to be desired rather than feared!).
I heard it said last week that if you want something transformative to happen to your congregation just offer to host one of the two rally events that are held in our conference every year - Senior Rally in October and Junior Rally in March.Nothing that has happened so far at Sherwood Park United Church has caused me to change my mind on that one!
