As for Jesus, I hate to say where I stand on Jesus and have that where I'm stuck, but I will say this. Maybe if I love Jesus enough, belief falls to the side. And I do love Jesus. When people come to Ginghamsburg for a weekend celebration, the relaxed atmosphere greets them at the door. A warm handshake, information adequately provided, large coffee machines in every direction, all invite guests to come on in and experience.
Candles are lit.
The media screen is wallpaper, a visual depiction of a chosen weekend metaphor, a modern stained-glass window. Soft lighting and a visual stage display draw the eye in and begin connecting hearts long before the call to worship is ever spoken. It's a multisensory church. A safe space for hungry hearts. A place to call home.
