“Hope is the beginning of Suffering, without suffering you cannot experience an invisible God.”

 "A Lovefeast service is a service dedicated to Christian love, and is most famously practiced by the Moravians. A Lovefeast seeks to strengthen the bonds and the spirit of harmony, goodwill, and congeniality, as well as to forgive past disputes and instead love one another"

As we move into a renewal of time and a celebration of life. We are moved by the Spirit of God to step back out of cultural Christianity, Religion, and Ego. We are moving into a time of repentance, renewal, restoration, and revived love for God. We believe that Church is the people in which we come into community with. We ARE the Church. We are beginning a new time of fellowship.....traditionally called a “Worship Service” Knowledgeable people will notice that this is nothing new....in fact it is quit old. The structure of the service is centered on the TRUE Spirit of Christmas: Jesus. We are using a variety of different mediums to carry the message; music, art, multimedia, meditation, prayer, Communion, and Coffee. We must remember the medium IS the message. God uses anything he chooses to accomplish his untiring pursuit of a relationship with him. We can all know God……but when’s the last time you experienced God? Better yet when is the last time someone experienced God (message) through you (medium)?


The way you live your life is the greatest message. You and I must realize that being the message is not hiding the stuff that we struggle with…..The world does not need more “hypocritical Christians” the world needs authenticity, transparency, truth, and hope.

“By his wounds we are healed” By your wounds we find Hope.

Let your suffering be the launch pad for God to deliver The Message....

Be the Message this Christmas season.

God Bless You
