Indianapolis: Seeing Lives Changed


 By Jeremiah Brown

Today, August 26th, we held our fourth "Sneak Peek" service for Generation Church.  These "Sneak Peek" services are our preview services that allow our community to see who Generation Church is and allows us to practice getting things in order for a weekend experience.  Leading up to this preview service has been a bit different than the previous three.  For instance, Friday we had a team of individuals from Thompson Station Church that came to serve our community, and help us get the word out about Generation Church.
 

They worked hard!  Friday was all about praying and connecting with our community.  We prayed over a few potential site locations for Generation Church to move to for our Saturday night services.  We also began surveying one of the newer neighborhoods, to which we had a lot of positive response and very interested individuals.  Saturday was filled with surveying two more neighborhoods and a movie on the lawn event.
 

The movie on the lawn was a huge success as we had about 250 people show up, to which we gave away FREE popcorn, and partnered with the local HOA.  We even had several interesting conversations.  (One little girl asked me to change our Pandora playlist from 90s Pop to something she "could dance to").  From this community event, we witnessed a brand new family join us for our "Sneak Peek" service.

Finally, we know that God is moving here and this weekend has had a huge impact in Noblesville because as Cyndi and I were walking through Meijer this evening we were stopped by a young pregnant woman.  This woman happened to be at the movie event with her two daughters.  She h
e stopped us and thanked us for putting on such a community event and it allowed us to share with her about our church...for us this is something we can REALLY DANCE TO, because life change is beginning to take place!
