FreshFire ReLaunch 2007 -- how we got here.
Some of you may be interested in more details about the inner workings of Club Worship, and the changes that we are currently undergoing etc. Here’s more information than you need, and probably more than you want, but here goes.
As we stand today, we are poised for a huge Club Worship re-launch on August 24, 2007. Its been an interesting year so far, and a pretty quiet one to date, but that is about to change, and change quick.
Back in 2006, I sensed that God was going to do something new with Club Worship… not being sure what, I just obeyed his voice, and we had our last event at the Olympian Ballroom in January of 2007. The last night at the ballroom was really great. We could really sense God there, and the dancefloor was full of people so late into the night. Tons of people didn’t want to go home.
Twila and Gustavo Ramirez, pastors at Hope of the Nations church had started a conversation with us regarding a property that they were planning to purchase. The property used to be a nightclub, and so they thought of us right away, and the potential for ministry there.
Unfortunately early February, the roof collapsed on Hope of the Nations building, and the situation instantly became complicated. The purchase of the building and the repairs and renovations that needed to be made were held back significantly, but slowly got underway.
In May, as the repairs continued, we began to have a conversation again about Club Worship re-launching in their facility in the city. At this point, we also realized that we shared a lot of vision with Chad Eberly and the Reading House Of Prayer who has a heart for the city of Reading, and were launching some new hip hop ministry. Eventually, we decided that we should all get together and work collaboratively and bring it all under the Club Worship name.
Today, we are essentially working together to create something new. The oversight for the new organization will be through the Reading Regional Transformation Network and the leadership of Craig Nanna and his team. And we are open to new partners to come alongside this ministry if God draws us together with a shared vision.
The excitement is really brewing for what God is going to do with this new phase of ministry, and some of the new believers that he is touching throughout the city. We need to be prepared to reach out, to provide a place of exuberant worship for this urban generation.
After the ReLaunch, August 24, Club Worship will be the 2nd and 4th Fridays. Sept 14, Sept 24 etc. The 2nd Friday of the month will be DJ led worship, similar in model to what Club Worship has done the past 7 years…. The 4th Friday of the month will be Live Hip Hop.
