I’m one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and I’ve started exploring other churches here in The Woodlands to learn more about different approaches to worship and community. I know you are ‘well-trained preachers,’ but I was surprised that I didn’t hear much scripture during this event. Perhaps this isn’t a typical service, so I plan to attend for at least 6 weeks to better understand your model. I’m also envision working toward building a Faith Center that’s open 24 hours a day (and online), with a sanctuary offering 3 daily services, a 24-hour café, a library focusing on Bible-based life skills, a school, an organic farm to support the café, and a homeless shelter. I want to learn from your successful model to see what elements inspire connection and community. Looking forward to observing more.
“For which one of you who wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers would start to ridicule him, saying: ‘This man started to build but was not able to finish.’” (Luke 14:28-30, NWT)
