A New Look

Talbot Davis March 1, 2010 at 2:08 pm 7

So we unveiled a new look on our Worship Center platform yesterday. The new look involved paint, fabric, lighting, and then more lighting to create a flexible, dramatic look. For example, we started out green during the first song . . .

. . . followed by purple for the next number . . .

. . a slighty whiter shade of pale for what came next . . .

. . . and then my favorite, the rich blue that served as the backdrop for Glory To God.

Over the last few years, we have learned much about how to use the space God has given us.

Now we know: when you put lights, sound, and texture into the hands of the Master Artist, worship happens.

As it did yesterday.

Glory To God indeed.

The Bubble

We . . . are so excited to unveil a major redesign of the Worship Center platform this Sunday.

We . . . don't want to give away too many details, but please know that we are combining colors, lights, and fabric to create an environment that is at the same time thoroughly modern and warmly welcoming.

We . . . believe and pray that the new design will enhance our worship of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We . . . are confident God will continue to move us outside of the Christian bubble in which we sometimes find ourselves.

Sunday. 8:30 10. 11:30.

Leggo Of My Logo

So we got a new logo.

It went through focus groups, staff dissection, volunteer input, and then final, enthusiastic approval.

Our previous logo -- a stylized shepherd holding a lamb -- had become dated towards the end of its fourteen year run.

This one conveys Walking Together: the starting point is lightly shaded, suggesting we all start our journeys from different places. But the arrow signifies a unity of purpose. We're walking towards who Jesus is and what Jesus is about.

Plus, the logo has a clean, modern look that's easily transferrable onto T-shirts, bulletins, hats, banners, and tennis racket strings.

Just kidding on the last one.

If you've seen the glass doors of the church recently, you've seen the G that's virtually impossible to miss.

It looks how we want it to look and says what we want it to say.

And . . . just wait until you see the Worship Center platform on Sunday.

So we bid farewell to There's An App For That.

It was one of our longest-running and best-reviewed series.

So what's next?

WE.

A series for people who think there is more to life, faith, and church than"talking" via text message and "visiting" over Facebook.

A series that recognizes something truly counter-cultural in 21st Century America: God is more interested in building WE than ME.

To see what WE mean by that, come for Week One, "From ME To WE."

And you will love, love, love the videos we've put together for this and every week of the series.

Sunday.

8:30. 10. 11:30.

Passage Launch

The point of last Sunday's message was God wants to be found, understood, and loved. SO START DIGGING. Based on Proverbs 2:1-8, you can listen to it here.

I'm so glad that many people at Good Shepherd have grabbed their shovels and gone to work.

We launched our Passage School last night with over 100 people showing up for classes ranging from Financial Peace University to SoulCare to Apocalypse Now? The rooms were full and we ran out of books.

Combined with our two Thursday morning classes and four more on Sunday morning, we have well over 200 people digging deep.

It's all part of Walking Together: we want to be faithful in providing space for people to grow and then trust God to move in their hearts to get them to show up. And so far, people have done just that. In droves.

So it's a good start. And you can still be part of understanding God better. Check out our Passage School here.
