The Political Elephant

Warning: this is a post mostly for my political friends in DC. It may not be super-relevant to anyone else. No, it’s not what you’re thinking. This isn’t a post about the Republican Party.

National Community Church (my church) is doing a sermon series on topics that we (being both NCC specifically and churches in general) don’t like to talk about, and we’re using the “elephant in the room” metaphor as our theme. This week, we’re talking about politics, and I want to invite you to come.

I can’t promise you’ll like everything you hear, but you won’t be told that if you hold X political position then you’re ungodly, going to hell, or a sinner. In other words, neither you nor your party will be demonized, and I think you may see a side of Jesus and his followers that is different than the ones you see in the news.

So, if you’re interested in politics and have a negative view of Evangelical churches for political reasons, I encourage you to drop by a service this weekend.

We meet in four locations around DC:
Saturday, 5:00 & 6:30 @ Ebenezers Coffeehouse (Capitol Hill)
Sunday, 9:00; 10:15, & 11:30 @ Union Station Theaters
Sunday, 10:00 @ Georgetown Theaters
Sunday, 10:30 @ Ballston Common Mall Theaters

If you decide to come, drop me a comment here or on Twitter or shoot me an e-mail. I’ll try to be at whatever service you pick. If I don’t hear from anyone, I’ll be headed to the G-town service. Hope to see you there!

Update: Just a quick note, the 5:00 service @ Ebenezers is usually packed out, so if you’re interested in going Saturday night, the 6:30 service would probably be your best bet.
