HOW FAR WILL THEY GO?

A long-time leader in the extended fellowship movement among our brethren, the Richland Hills Church, [I do not refer to it as a church of Christ] has instituted a new practice concerning their worship schedules.  With their expanding numbers [6400+] they are attempting to resolve their seating problem by establishing a third service.  The following is pasted from their website (rhchurch.org)

COMING IN MARCH 2007: Small Groups - Taste of Community FAQs About The New Weekend Schedule How will the Saturday evening assembly differ from Sunday morning, other than the addition of musical instruments? Saturday evening will be a more relaxed, casual atmosphere. The sermon will be the same both times. Some song selections may be different. Rather than in room 109, prayer response will be in the auditorium. Children fifth grade and younger will have their own class/worship assembly during the adult service.

Adding musical instruments to the worship assembly is not new for apostate churches but the new twist is that they are adding this new worship time on Saturday.  I will have more to say about this in later bulletins.
