To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.
You may have heard words similar to these in a song recorded by Pete Seeger in the 1950s, but they are originally from Ecclesiastes 3 in the King James Bible. This is SouthWest’s season to pluck up and be planted, re-potted, prepare for the seasonal change.
We will be exploring new directions and transformations, relocations and rethinking worship and ministry. Our culture is shifting.
The roads are definitely shifting!
To reach a shifting culture, the way we see Church needs to change rapidly!
We don’t need to change the message of love of life, grace, faith, integrity and hope, just the method!
With road construction to begin shortly on Clemenceau severely limiting access to the church for about 2 months, this is our opportunity; so SouthWest is shifting temporarily its worship time, place, and ministry.
As of Sunday September 9:
11:15am Worship
(Doors open at 11:00am)
at SouthWest Mission
631 Melrose avenue
Light lunch fellowship to follow!
Carpooling is encouraged.
Taxi sharing too (taxi-chits will be available)
Yes it is:
Risky
Radical
Uprooting
Disruptive
BUT it is also
Exciting
Renewing the spirit
A vision of body, mind and spirit.
What will it look like?! Whatever we choose it to be!
Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)reads,
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
