A Town Hall Meeting about adding the 2nd service

On Sunday October 28... immediately after the worship service there will be an opportunity to meet with Rob Pendley, Frank Matthews and another elder about the plan to launch a 2nd service in January 2008. While this decision was reached after much prayer, discussion, and counsel we know that some may need more information or simply to be heard. We hope to create a space for you to:
--ask questions
--express concerns
--etc

The meeting will be held in the Student Center.

Moving to a 2nd service in January 2008, why?

1. Opportunity

A. To reach new people... our mission statement is
Christ Community exists to experience & extend the grace of Jesus Christ
B. To develop new leaders
C. To stretch Christ Community

2. Need
A. Christ Community needs "eyes lifted" to see the harvest
B. Theater has "full" sense on at least 2 of 4 sundays

Additionally, when the elders were discussing this in early September a major point was this:
When CCC moves into the building on Parker Road we will have 344 seats. This means that we would be going to a 2nd service during our first month in our new facility! The elders felt that the growing pains associated with adding a 2nd service would better be experienced in the familiar environment of Oak Hall. This would free Christ Community to fully enter into the joy of having a place to call home without simultaneously feeling the growing pains we are all feeling now.
