Neighborhood night

It was time for Tuesday night Bible Study yesterday in Geneva. It was also “neighborhood” night, where people who live in big apartment buildings were supposed to set up a table outside their main entrance and share a glass with other tenants. The Geneva church meets in an office building across from a residential area. And even though the local neighborhood wasn’t pushing the neighborhood night, (I didn’t see any tables out anywhere), we decided to do something. I painted a big sign and we set up chairs in front of the office building. All us Christians gathered for a get-to-know you game, brainstorming and sharing on “loving your neighbor as yourself”. We tried to accompany the passing honks through singing and praying. The we did what we do best: snack and get interested in each others’ lives. A few people walked by. All were invited for a drink. People hung out for another hour. We packed the chairs and tables up and headed home.

Tonight we start two evenings on “Building your life, choosing your architect”. We hope to have many visitors. Would appreciate your prayers.

    I like the idea. When the world sees that Christians can enjoy a good time and a good drink with each other, it opens doors that might not other wise be opened.

    You just never know what’s happening just beyond our sight and comprehension. No telling what God will do with just the sight of people enjoying one another and trying to invite others into the joy.
