Monday, November 9, 2009 Untamed Worship: The Momentum Continues

As you may have heard or read, we're putting together a one-night event called Untamed Truth: A Night of Worship & Art. It will be a night of worship expressed through music, art, and word.

Creativity and the arts are an important value of our group at Encounter, so such a night would will a great reflection of who we are. The idea is to pull from local talent and showcase different individuals in a group worship setting.

WHY WE'RE DOING IT

We met recently and discussed the purpose and details of the upcoming event. After some discussion we all agreed that Encounter wants to be intentional and strategic about filling the gap that exists in Helena for end-of-day activities. We have asked numbers of people lately what they do in the evenings and the consensus is "there IS nothing to do." We want to provide an opportunity for people to connect with others and encounter God in a unique, authentic, and creative way.

WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW

The musicians and singers that have been involved have been rehearsing over the last weeks and sound awesome! They are quite gifted, but also humble and authentic. I am personally excited to see some of these guys lead through the songs with their own style.

Finally, our planned venue is not working out. So we are looking for another venue that can facilitate this type of gathering. Join us at Exploration Works on Friday, November 20 @ 7pm for a free, casual environment to explore faith and connect with others.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Now is the time to bring it together. It's so important that people in our community not just attend this event, but actually participate in some way. It's the only way that this night of worship becomes a reflection of our community. So our question is simple. Can you help?

• Are you an artist? Do you paint? sculpt? Something else? There is still room to get involved. This would be a great way to get involved in something different.

• Do you write poetry? Lyrics? Stories? Again, share your inspiration with others in an alternative setting. We invite you to participate.

• Do you own or work in a place that would benefit from such an event? Do you have a connection that might help us pull this off? Let us know. Help make this happen and make a difference in Helena.

• Finally, can you help financially? Right now we are looking for just a few people who want to see such a night happen. People who want to see lives changed by a night of connection. A night of encountering Jesus in a unique, authentic, and creative way. If you can contribute with a $25 or $50 gift, it would only take 5 to 10 people to make an impact in our community, and FOR our community.

I am so excited about what's coming up. God is on the move! Contact us today if you can participate or help in some way.
