Rock and Roller Pines for Lent at WELS Church and Chicanery Mission

An Apology for a Rock and Roll Lutheran Church

Since we don't follow a traditional church format at Christ the Rock, we don't follow the church year either. Hopefully one of these years we will do that. After being away from it a few years now, I miss it. I think it could be done very cleverly; quasi-traditional while remaining relevant.

For all of you contemporary worshipping churches that are following the church year and observing Lent, I will live vicariously through you and post suggestions of arrangements you can use. Many of these we have used in other message settings at CTR. More to follow as the season progresses.

Hey Joe, after all the complaining, you want what we still offer. We had an Ash Wednesday service. We will have mid-week Lenten services throughout Lent. We still use the Latin names for the Lenten Sundays.

After everything is called adiaphora and tossed out, some people start to wonder if the purge was worthwhile.

I don't get it. Is nothing done at a traditional church worth emulating at a cool, hip church-ette? Or must everything be changed simply for the sake of change?

Is Easter celebrated at CTR? Or is the idea of our Savior rising from the dead and leaving the tomb empty just too old and stuffy?

I guess as long as everyone feels good, who cares?

GJ - Church and Chicanery is the spirit of apostasy. Many think they can walk the tightrope between trendiness and unbelief. However, the energy behind C and C is materialistic, anti-confessional, and anti-Christian. They howl that they alone care for lost souls, but the worst lost souls are their leaders. Ski and his pricey executive assistant both have Mars Hill's Mark Driscoll (Mickey Mouse shirt) on their Twitter list.
