"The Event"

I have been thinking a lot about this event the Ethan, Adam, Benji, Paul, and I want to do at the church. Ethan and I recently talked about the purpose of this event. Its original purpose was to get a recording of our music so we could have some material. We've since changed our focus.

Ethan and I were talking and kind of came to the same realization that this event shouldn't be about us at all. All this time, we've been viewing this as our worship band's "coming out" but if we want the event to be for us, than we shouldn't have it at all. I want the event to be an outreach. I want to start something in Fort Wayne.

I've been listening to David Crowder Band and Hillsongs: United a lot lately. The more I think about our band and the future, the more I realize that I want to be focus on the right issues. I want Fort Wayne to be united. I want the youth to be united, under one God. The only God. I don't want to be segregated by denominations of Christianity. I want a church, not a building. I keep saying want, however. I don't want to be self-centered about this. I just don't think we're reaching kids on a deep enough level. The Sunday routine isn't cutting it. I, being a kid, want to challenge the youth to not be a part of a church but be a church. A church as a community, a community united, united not under one denomination, denominations becoming what they were intended to be: Christians.
