The single most significant thing you can do with your one and only life is give it away... I believe that, I've tried to live my life in response to that, and I'm passionate about making sure the people at Epic Church discover that. We decided early on that Epic would be a church that makes a difference in the community. To set the tone, one of the very first events we held was a BBQ for families that live at a shelter in the city. We grilled up some hotdogs and burgers, had balloons, face-painting, and our own little version of the "olympics" for the kids, and just spent the afternoon loving on people. No sermon, no "altar call", just the church being the church by showing a few people going through a rough patch that they matter and that someone cares about them. Recently I received a letter from the shelter thanking us for coming and letting us know that because of a donation we left them the residence now have access to the internet for homework and job searches. Loving others is part of what God intended for His church to do... this one will. Check out the video : (for those of you on facebook you can see the video at www.epicwired.blogspot.com)
