Wear your favorite team jersey to church this Sunday!!!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"fans-at-the-linc_getty\"<\/a>No, this isn’t\u00a0 an “April Fools” joke- it’s February… not April!\u00a0 Did you know that worship is supposed to be FUN, UPLIFTING, and REAL???\u00a0 Formalities can lead us to a reverent attitude, but sometimes they can also seal us off into something that’s not genuine.<\/p>\n

And so on Sunday Feb. 7, we’re not going to be irreverent, but we are going to suspend the “dress code” and do things a bit differently for one Sunday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Super Bowl Sunday<\/span><\/h3>\n

We have it on good authority that “some football game” is going to be played this Sunday, and that it will attract a lot of attention.\u00a0 Sometimes people don’t even go to church on Superbowl Sunday!\u00a0 But worshiping God should be a Super Experience (on any day).<\/p>\n

\"Super<\/p>\n

And so on Sunday February 7 our bulletin will follow a football format, and everyone is encouraged to wear something related to sports: Eagles, Sixers, Flyers, Phillies… even 49’ers or even… EVEN… Cowboys garb will be welcome!\u00a0 We’re called to be ambassadors for God wherever we go.\u00a0 God’s not only in church with a bunch of well-dressed Christians; God is also in a stadium with thousands of screaming fans.<\/p>\n

So how do we exercise true Godly love while being IN the world without becoming OF the world?<\/p>\n

Lift High the Cross… Don’t let clothes get in the way!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Drop in this Sunday for a unique worship experience, and invite a friend (even if they’re wearing a Cowboys shirt)!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Really!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Maybe it takes a bit of faith to step out into church on a Sunday Morning wearing anything other than “normal church garb.”\u00a0 If you’re wavering about your clothes for this Sunday, here are a few pictures from last year…<\/p>\n\n\t\t
