Today for Easter, as many people were away, Genesis held a 'cafe service', in casual informal meeting style at the church cafeteria, we all sat around tables, had coffee, discussion and worship.
Cafe service @ Genesis
The worship team that day was lined up like a cafe gig band and it was quite novel for me to have Sunday worship this way.
Later in the day, went with Leanne for worship ministry at another church which is new and holding its 1st meeting today:
Transformation Community Church at Molendinar... interesting name. As the church is new with no worship team, we had been asked to help with worship there for 2 weeks, this week and the next. Leanne led worship and I backed her up on the keyboards.
Quite impressive for such a small church at pioneering level to have such sophisticated equipment at their place. Pastor Lynne Richardson was a very good organiser and she had everything pat down. The crowd were mostly non-believers but who were good friends of Lynne.
Here's a good example of God helping those who help themselves. You see, Lynne was a chaplain for the community there for many years. She had sown into it and done such a great job at it , gaining strong connections and respect there, so when she requested for government grants to build and buy facilities for this place, she had no problems at all as recognition of her efforts. And boy, such favour she reaped in getting access to equipment and resources - to even build an outdoor cafeteria and extra storerooms for the area + free access to the community centre! Amazing lady.
Pastor Lynne, myself & Leanne.
The church was at a community centre but it looked like a formal church with carpeting, LCD projector, sound equipment, keyboards, mikes, the works... She had great vision to transform the community, defying vandalism and graffiti attacks from hostile parties.
Next week, we go back there again, and... Jordie won't mind. After all, he got 18 Easter eggs for his hunt today, a Moses movie and lots of friends, so a boy can't complain.
