Last night was our third weekly Vintage gathering; a new outreach/worship gathering for generation Xers. It's growing, which is exciting, especially since there are new faces each week.
Matt Glock, a missionary we support with International Teams led last night's gathering. Our theme has been heroes, using vintage comic book superheroes as springboards to insights about biblical heroes.
Matt did a great job moving us to looking at Jesus, using mirrors with scripture references written on them about what it means to look into the Word and at Christ. Of course, while we're looking at the verses, we're also seeing ourselves and making the comparison: How do I look? What do I see? Is my life a reflection of Jesus? Matt told us up front that he gets off on doing things "differently", and he did! It was all very effective in communicating Jesus to those who might not know much about him.
We were also invited then to write out prayers and requests on post it pads and affix them to prayer lists on the walls.
I heard great comments from those attending, paying particular attention to the guests and what they had to say. One comment that was repeated was "Where was the band??". I hope they'll be back next week.
