more info for after Easter!

Hey,
Here's more about the 3 weeks after Easter:

Series: A Moment Changes Everything
Series Idea: if we could learn to hear and see God in the moments we have, it could change our lives.
Creative Direction:
Dean mentioned this ad as a creative starting point:

Week 1: God speaking in the Moment
idea: - often life's going so fast that we miss what God's trying to say
- Moses' story, are we listening to what God's trying to say
creative direction:
the speed of life
hearing God - Bruce Almighty (God in the car sending him signs and he doesn't pay attention)


Week 2: Listening in the Moment
idea: - how do we learn to hear and see God in the moments we have
creative direction:
possibly trying to create a response moment at the end of service with a song about wanting to hear God more


Stand Alone Week Title: Unforgiven
idea: learning to forgive each other, through divorce, pain, loss, etc.
Creative Ideas:
Dean thought of the Eagles song "Heart of the Matter"

  1. I know you're too young to remember this song, Andrew...but...how about Rare Earth's " I Just Want To Celebrate " ??

  2. I like week 2 idea...what about an extended quiet moment...total silence...almost uncomfortably long...with some guiding questions we can ask God in our silent prayers...What do you want of me? What purpose do you have for me? How do you want me to handle the situation I am in? Who do I need to talk to or spend time with? How can I serve you this week? They can choose the question they feel God is leading them to and spend the quiet time just listening. Just a thought.

    Song suggestion: "Long Ride Home" by Patti Griffin. About a man who has lost his wife and regrets the way he has treated her -- thus she dies and he remains unforgiven and in the throes of regret. Awesome song.

  5. Here's a video clip called "Coffee With Jesus"--more about our prayer life. Could do as a video or live.
