What if churches never changed? We kept the buildings the same, the pews the same, sang the same hymnals, heard the same message at least once a year?
I would hate going. I would go out of guilt. I would let my mind wonder and more than likely never feel the Holy Spirit alive in me.
The world is always changing. Just look how far technology has come. I would have never thought I would have to give power point presentations when I taught. To 8 year olds! My wardrobe changes, my hair changes, and sadly my body too! You can't stop change. You can avoid it, but you can't stop it.
I think about when I am going to be a senior citizen. Will I hate my grand kids music and their style of music? I wonder what they will think of the music I currently listen to? I do hope I embrace change in the future when I am old and set in my ways.
I do plan on doing a lot of annoying things I am going to do when I am old. I will drive slow in the fast lane. I will wear a moo-moo with my Grannie panties. I will pass gas and dare anyone to say anything!
I am thankful for the changes that have happened at C3 and that will continue to happen. I am no longer afraid, but excited. I look forward to the future of my church. God is in control. I see Him at work in so many different outlets that I would have never dreamed. God has opened the door in so many secular places for people to have an opportunity to know Him. I want God to plug me in where he wants me. I want to show love and compassion the way Christ taught us and showed us.

You crack me up! I hope we're still hanging out when we're senior citizens so we can remind each other what it was like to be 30 and think change was great! I'm getting you a moo-moo for your 70th birthday! I love you!
I would wear a moo-moo know, if I didn't think Jeff would throw up!
We should get matching one!
