Kanrockas

Dana and I spent all day Friday and Saturday at the Kanrocksas festival selling t-shirts.  We were manning the merch trailer to raise money for Grandview Park Church.  The festival would give the church $1000 for all of our help.

This morning, we are still quite worn out from the weekend.  It was a lot of fun working with the adults and youth from Grandview Park and it was a lot of fun talking to the myriad of people who visited our trailer to buy their festival or favorite band t-shirt.  We also enjoyed a variety of artists performing throughout the day.

I couldn't help but think about all of the crowd that we saw, ranging from teenagers to old school hippy rockers.  Were they there for a good time, some comfort or hope, an experience to enrich their lives and souls?  Perhaps they are just going through the motions, attending the latest concert which as guitarist Craig Chaquico said have become the churches of today.

How do we capture this generation with a real hope? How do we present the Good News to these thousands of wanderers?  I wish I had an easy answer or program that would do that.  I am convinced that we need to be more bold and definitely more creative in our efforts to reach out with God's Love.
