The Experience

Whenever I speak with other pastors and they ask what cool things God is doing at CLC, I usually point to three--worship, McClintock and The Experience (they are all tied for first place for me!)

As I write this, The Experience is on tour. They have a real cool blogspot with pictures, itinerary and blogs at:

During this week, pray for their safety and for their message. We have about 90 people on the road, visiting churches and, in their own words, telling the story.

I also want to invite you to be at worship this Sunday, June 26, either at 10:00 or 11:15 to see their performance. It is a modern rendition of The Prodigal Son parable. They do such a nice job of telling it in skits, music and visuals.

Thirty years from now, these 17 year olds will still be talking about their experience in The Experience. They will say it shaped their faith at a very young age and laid a foundation for the rest of their lives. They will remember the tours, the funny stories, and the relationships that were formed. And they will hope that their children will have such an opportunity that they had in The Experience.

Studies consistenly show that a huge majority church-going, faithful adults came to faith before age 18. I know that was true for me. That's why this ministry is so significant--not for the singing and the touring but for a faith that will extend from this world into the next.

Peace,
Pastor Scott
