This Is Not The End (S13 Episode23)

Nexus friends, though quite rare, there are certain Sundays that come together so seamlessly and with such a sense of synchronicity that I can't help but suspect there is something more at play ;) This happens to be one of those unicorn Sundays.

Late last Sunday, I sat down to read the cards our community had submitted around what in our lives feels like death or suffering. The weight of those cards was palpable. On Monday, Dave and I batted around ideas, trying to figure out how to hold all that for this coming Sunday. Then on Tuesday morning, I noticed a text on my phone, from Kristen G., with a song recommendation for me. I clicked the link and as I sat listening, everything fell into place. I had spotted a goat on a cow. A few hurried texts between Dave, Kristen, and I, some invites to other musicians in our community, and voila, the whole of this coming Sunday seemed clear to us in a matter fifteen minutes! I can't overemphasize enough how rare that is!

There is something about this coming Sunday that feels urgent and timely to me. I am reluctant to oversell any Sunday, nor do I ever want to presume when and where God is at work, but I truly get the sense that there are some of us who NEED to hear and experience this coming Sunday. Most of my blurbs end with some kind of invitation and an expression of my hope that you will join us this coming Sunday. For this week though, I am ditching the soft sell in favour of something bolder. You NEED to be at Nexus this Sunday, especially if you submitted a card this past Sunday.
