A.J. Swoboda

“Margin is difficult to keep in a community. But without space, there cannot be community. To reflect this, our church has intentionally opted not to have a midweek worship gathering. We could have one. But we wanted to create space in people’s week for them to be able to say yes to their neighbors and those around them. Christian community can easily become a place where we are so crammed with activities that we do not have time to do the things that Jesus cares most deeply about—such as loving the lost in our neighborhoods. The Sabbath, in our experience, creates a unique opportunity to share the gospel. For in that one day a week, we are unfettered with activity and can actually spend some time with those whom we live alongside.”
