Evoke is the the theological training initiative of Grassroots Church. Simply put, Evoke is about getting into the Bible together in an exciting, insightful, and life changing way. Tuesday nights @ Grassroots Church are for everyone who wants to get into learning the Bible.
Tuesday September 20 is Evoke’s kickoff night for the 2011/2012 year. Great for the beginner, the expert and everyone in between.
Here’s the deal: We understand that there are a number of folks who would like to come out to services each Sunday but volunteering in Sunday School, or work, or shift work, or a host of other real life issues make it impossible. So, we are holding an evening encore service to give people the opportunity to worship, take in the same message from the morning’s service, and spend a bit a time with others. The service will be abbreviated (no break in the middle), the music with be scaled down a bit (think MTV unplugged), but the message will be the same and probably better the second time through 
That’s another thing. Maybe you attended in the morning and you think the message would be very meaningful for someone you know. Invite them out that evening! The kickoff evening service will be a “State of the Nation” message by Chris Pacholczak, the pastor of Grassroots Church. Come and learn more about the vision, developing plans of Grassroots Church, and how you can be a part of it.
Unfortunately childcare is unavailable but older children are definitely welcome to take in the service if they’d like to.
The service starts at 7:30PM and ends around 8:30PM.
Grassroots Church is changing things up a bit this fall.
Beginning Sunday September 11, 2011, our morning services will begin @ 10:30 AM and include a nursery and kids programs for those ages 10 & under. The service concludes @ noon.
Grassroots will also be holding an evening “encore” service on Sunday nights @ 7:30PM. It’ll be an abbreviated service including some songs, and the same message as given in the morning service. Unfortunately we are unable to provide childcare. The service will wrap up around 8:30PM.
Our summer schedule will begin July 3rd and continue through Labor Day weekend. These will be family services, with childcare available for children 36 months and under. Hope to see you there!
Bring out family and friends! Music, comedy, & drama! All ages!
Hope to see you there!!!
