The last few decades saw churches close out their Sunday evening meetings. For various reasons, the Sunday evening is being revived. Not in the same pattern, but with groups and activities that just close off the weekend.
We’ve seen this with sessions we are holding called the Truth Project. Somewhere around a third to half of our congregation are participating.
In many ways this arises in response to weekend activity patterns. Most people are able to be out of town, or at a meeting, or scheduled in some way during Saturday and Sunday. The evening of Sunday most people are back home, and available for a closing activity. One that is encouraging, that prompts community and leaves you ready to attack a new week.
That’s my hope for these next few weeks. So far, so good!!
