Join us this Advent for a focused season of prayer as we confront the challenges of overcrowding at Seven Mile Road. With rapidly increasing attendance in worship, children's ministry, and office spaces, we are looking for wisdom and grace in finding solutions for our future. From November 22 through December 31, we will engage in prayer through various environments, collectively seeking God's direction for our church's space needs. Together, let's explore missional strategies that build and multiply healthy Gospel-centered communities.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. “Jesus, we’re out of space.” a season of focused prayer this Advent at Seven Mile Road

  2. Why We Are Here We are out of space. • Overcrowding in worship • Overcrowding w/kids • Imminent overcrowding in nursery • Overcrowding in office • Overcrowding in bathroom

  3. What We Have Tried Doors We Have Banged On: • Centre Methodist/Malden Senior Center • Greenwood Union Church

  4. What We Have Tried Doors We Have Knocked On: • Local lease opportunities • Broadway Plaza (Hollywood Video) • 477 Riverside (old Union Office) • Fellsway Building • 1 Highland Avenue (Ferguson) • Planet Fitness (Eastern Avenue)

  5. What We Have Tried Doors We Have Knocked On: • Local purchase opportunities • Tifereth Temple (Salem Street) • Wellington Truck (Eastern Avenue)

  6. Grace of Overcrowding Rather than asking ‘where can we put everyone?’, we are asking ‘how do we do space in the next 10-20 years?’ What is the wisest and most strategic way for us to engage just-north of Boston missionally with the Gospel?

  7. Missional Givens Build. We want to build a healthy, Gospel-centered, missional, ‘021’, ‘jnB’ church. Multiply. We want to multiply healthy, Gospel-centered, missional leaders & churches locally, nationally, and globally. Collaborate. We want to serve/influence others who want to do the same.

  8. Missional Givens Not a ‘mega-church.’ Not a ‘wherever church.’ An 021-based, healthy, growing, multiplying, influencing church. What long-term space solution best creates the space for that?

  9. Potential solutions A simplified list, all w/ pros and cons: • 2 services at Emerson • Rent a larger facility on Sundays • Plant a second church or site locally • Lease/purchase permanent space • Break into house church network

  10. Our Response A focused season of prayer this Advent for grace and wisdom as we seek out a space solution to our overcrowding. 40 days, 5 Sundays, 5+ weeks. November 22 through December 31.

  11. 4 Environments for Prayer 1 – Sunday mornings. 2 – Soulcare communities. 3 – 2 or 3 (or more) an hour a week. 4 – Individual/families

  12. 2 or 3 or more One leader, once a week, same place, same time. Prayer times will focus on: • Advent (readings posted every Monday on blog) • Space (updates posted regularly through the 40 days) • And anything else…
