GJ - Many mysteries surround the sudden departure of The BORE from the giant movie theater:
  1. Why did they move so fast?
  2. Who bought the theater out from under them?
  3. Why are they moving into a larger space when their attendance is shrinking?
  4. Why do they have offices in another building, 10 minutes away?
  5. How can they share a church building with another Emergent Church?
  6. Can they hang their expensive signage on the old WELS church building?
  7. Will the new property require a reverse exorcism before they move in?

    "Remove thou, the spirit of fellowship principles.
    Book of Concord, get thee behind me.
    Smite the opponents of unionism and Enthusiasm.
    Bless us, Father Below."

Joel [Lillo - Fox Valley WELS pastor] has left a new comment on your post "Will Ski Come Out as a Babtist on Reformation Day?...":

A clarification on point 6:

The frame of the sign actually came with the building. All the members of The Core did was to install an insert with the congregation's logo into the frame(and that insert has faded in the year and a half it's been there). They couldn't take the sign along with them if they wanted to.

By the way, their new place of worship is magnificent. I saw Pastor Mark Jeske there last night as he gave a presentation on Time of Grace to a packed audience. The sound, lighting, and ambience (sic - definitely a WELS pastor) are all absolutely amazing. It will be a great place to hear the Word of God proclaimed in its truth and purity Groeschelty (as Ski does) and to worship our God in song!

GJ -The Jeske groupies are bound to agree on their love for more dollops of false doctrine.

Answers:
1) Another church bought the building and they had to move.
2) You already answered that question a few days ago, it's Christ's Church of the Valley.
3) Their attendance is not slipping. It's remained pretty constant throughout the last year even though there was the typical summer slump that most churches endure.
4) The OuterEdge Stage doesn't have space for offices. They're only using the OuterEdge building as a place for worship. Unless you drive around the block a couple of times, it should take you no more than two minutes to get from the Zielke Building to the OuterEdge Stage.
5) This is no different than a church renting space from a Seventh Day Adventist church when starting out -- something that not a few Lutheran churches have done.
6) Probably not.
7) Now you're just being silly.

What was Pastor Jeske doing there? Is there trouble in rive city folks? That is trouble spelled with a capital T.

Joel said...

Hey, I spelled "ambience" right. Why did I get a "sic"?

Gregory L. Jackson said...

Pastor Lillo - I wondered when you would notice. Here is the rule. When people agree with me, I fix their spelling and say nothing. When they disagree, I use sic. Your word could have been spelled either way, so I gave you a sic. It is terribly unfair, something I want all the Shrinkers to remember when the loot is handed out, the calls are extended, and the false teachers are defended.

Speaking of Reformation, too bad Luther is not around to reform the Lutheran synods today.
