The other day I was riding in my truck on my way to a good friends house when I passed this church. I don't recall the name, but what did stand out was the horseshoe pits they had beside the church building. In all my thirty something years of church I never saw any thing like it. I mean we had softball fields and a gymnasium; However I never had horseshoe pits. The reason I bring this up is to say the church look inviting, really inviting. Which brings me to the purpose to this blog. Churches today need to conform to there culture instead of creating a new one thats well just uncomforable. Now what I mean by that statement is this, people at this paticular church proably don't do business lunches or golf scrambles, but they do enjoy cook outs and outdoor activites where they come together as family. So this church reaches out to the community by establishing a church that fits with what the culture is accustom to. This way people feel comfortable when they come to church and don't have to be something there not. Then the presentation of the Gospel can be taught in a inviting atmosphere. Sometimes churches can make people feel like they don't belong by having certain dress codes or so many programs a person feels lost an out of touch with people. So let Jesus be your guide and open a church thats welcoming and inviting to the community and who knows maybe even play some horse shoes .............Your Brother in Christ James
