Ridiculous
You may have heard that our little rugged churchplant has been growing and has now exceeded all space options (Kids were all asked to sit on parents laps..) LOVE this kind of "Problem" ;)
But a fellow with connections set up a meeting with another man of means who owned a fabulous old-school theatre/jazz club downtown. After several months of bantering we picked up the keys several nights ago to the coolest facility.
And this 1.2 million dollar building was given to us. For free.
Most of us just crapped our pants. It's overwhelming and wonderful. Not even so much to have the building - but the journey for our pastors - meeting in small living rooms, starting a churchplant over, emotional and relational duress, working with very little and yet still dreaming of a place where we could affect the Green Bay downtown. Not necessarily with "churchiness", but with help. More details to come....

"Old school theater/jazz club?"
Well, that just sounds rife with possibilities for a whole different kind of churchiness!

Vineyards often do seem to gravitate toward unchurchy venues. Not all, I know, but we looked at a department store and a bowling alley before landing in a dinner theatre...nowhere does it say in the book that your gathering place has to have a white clapboard exterior with a steeple on top (although it did make them easier to spot in town!:)
And makes New England a FAAAAbulous touring spot in the fall...
That's so cool! How exciting. What creative potential...
Praise God for His provision! We are happy for you guys. May your community truly see how great and amazing Jesus is.
