Church Mythology


No, this is not a class I took in seminary... In preparation for our Fall series (working title: Mythbusters) what are some of the popular cultural myths about the church or following Christ?

Some examples we came up with at the meeting on 6/7 are:
-Christians dont drink or dance.
-Following Christ: Be Happy Don't Worry
-You must be poor/rich to follow Christ
-God hates fags
-Many ways to Heaven
-Follow Christ = Never Sin
-Jesus: Good Guy, Not God
-Its all about Heaven
-You Have to Check Your Brain at the Door

WATER series set design ideas...


Okay guys, based on last Thursday's meeting our new series is WATER. Water plays a huge role in the Bible as setting and symbol of so much. So we are going to explore some of the GREAT stories of the Old and New Testaments through the lens of water. We need to begin to work on some set ideas and visuals for this... So, have at it!

Here are some thought generating questions:
1. What are some words or associations with water.
2. How can we communicate water, without communicating water?
3. What does it look like when someone's "water breaks"... Just kidding thats gross.

Set construction begins Monday June 25... and runs all that week...
