Club Worship and being on the road...

What’s happening with H.E.A.T.? Well, part of the group drove down recently to visit Club Worship in Reading, PA on June 13th. Earlier during the week, Rob and I met with Joshua and Jeff and talked about Club Worship and H.E.A.T. and techno music for worship. We had a great evening and Jeff had brought some meadow tea – a specialty in PA – which tasted wonderful… Rob went to the night in town but before hand we drove to see where they were and saw the place. I was glad I was able to see where they meet and what the place looked like. It was interesting…

We are still on the road with the H.E.A.T. mobile. As we drove in various cities in the States, we got lots of people checking out the truck. However, we had three interesting encounter with people about the H.E.A.T. mobile and the slogan on it.

#1 We are in York, Maine. A guy comes to us from the other side of the street to ask us about H.E.A.T. – turns out he is a pastor from a church in Salem, Massachusetts. He loves the truck and told us he would pray for us. Rob gave him a card before he left.

#2 In Scarborough, Maine… As we park our trailer for the night, a guy comes to us and says “ techno music and Jesus – this is the most interesting slogan I’ve seen with the name of Jesus in it…” So we tell him about our techno church and he was reacting to this idea of a techno church. He reminded me of the people Dan Kimball talks about in his book “They love Jesus but not the church”.

#3 Near Saint John, New Brunswick. We have finished setting up the trailer and a couple with a child approach us. They are wondering if we are a church. Yes we are and Rob says he is the pastor. Turns out, the guy is a pastor too and is interested about it. His wife asked us what we need prayer for and we told them about our official launch in September.

On July 1-2 we will be in PEI for the CCSB convention and again the H.E.A.T. mobile will be there. We are schedule to be announced as a church plant. So pray for us as we connect with the CCSB staff and other churches and share our vision.
