Simple way to do church

Tomorrow morning literally millions of people will enter some sort of structure to have "church" in the same way they have always done it. I challenge us tonight to think of something. What would happen if you went in and turned the pews/chairs around? What if you had preaching before Sunday School? What if you had Praise and Worship followed by Sunday School followed by Preaching? The point is what would happen if you did something different. Tomorrow there will most likely be around 5 to 15 of us meeting outside under the pavilion. I basically have my thoughts down and I will be speaking on Psalms 46:1. But, there should be some folks there who haven't been to church in awhile and I think I will give them a chance to jump in and participate with what we are talking about. We will spend some time in worship and just getting to know each other some tomorrow morning. Then when it is over with we will probably go out and eat at some local restaurant and watch the other good church folks act like idiots to the young girls behind the counters. That's another story. WE make church so complicated when it really should be fun. We make so many rules when all we need to do is just show up and allow the Holy Spirit to take control. Yes, things should be done in order, but not allowing others to participate is boring. We will have some young folks and old folks together. I pray we can have fun and allow the Lord to really show up and move us out of tradition and into something new and wonderful.
