Reason #3 You Should Come to The Stone Church's Open House on September 8

It may not look like much at first, but this wooden bench is a great reason to show up at 30 McCormick Road on September 8 between 5 and 7 pm.

You see, by 5:00 on that day the Falcons will have already defeated the Saints in their season opener and you'll want to talk to somebody about Matt Ryan's incredible day and you'll want to share how you knew all along that the Falcon defense would step up at just the right time.  You could be sitting on this bench (with Reason #1 and Reason #2) talking football...and who knows, someone may even sit there with you, which would make it a little less weird than you eating pie, drinking tea and talking to yourself.

After a while the conversation may even turn to something more meaningful like your story, God's love for you and your story, and your future. It is possible that for someone everything changes right here on this bench on that day. Someone may find a fresh start. Someone may embark on a bold adventure. Someone may find a real friend. 

It's not just a wooden bench, it's an invitation to something better.

Reasons #1 and 2 for Coming to The Stone Church's Open House

September 8 will be a big day for us at The Stone Church here in Cartersville--we will be throwing a party (well, an Open House) and inviting the community to come and check things out.

A few months ago I was talking with a friend of mine, Mike Merriner, who is planting a church in Anchorage, Alaska called Clear Water Church, and he mentioned that he had just had an Open House event to kick off their ministry.  It was more like what we are calling a Preview Service (our first which happens to be the following Sunday morning @ 10:30--but more about that later!)

So beginning today and the next several days I'll try to give you some reasons for coming to and or inviting someone to the Stone Church Open House.

Reasons #1 and 2:  Homemade Pies and Sweet Tea!

Do I really need to say anything more?  

You'll be able to hang out on The Porch and chat with some of the team working on relaunching this church.  Who knows, you may even make a new friend while you sip on your sweet tea!
