On November 1st the clocks will “fall back”, so we gain an hour!
One of the things that we’re doing at Marathon is that we’re trying to target our lost community. We are basically trying to figure out when the best time is to have services so they will come. Research tells us that the best times to reach people in South Carolina are at 9:30 and 11:00.
Now, we have already baptized 140 people this year! So, what that tells us is that we are close to hitting our target. Now we’re honing in on 9:30 and 11:00 for our new service times, in order to take Marathon’s ministry to a whole new level.
The 9:30 service will be our Classic Service, where we will have the praise and worship music that has been in the early service and the Venue Service, and bring them together. The 11:00 service will be our Contemporary Service where we will have the music that we currently have in the main room at 10 and 11:30.
So, people have been asking us how we are going to get everyone in there. Well, it is going to be tight for a little while, and we will have to add a 3rd service somewhere, once we work all of the details out. But now that we have the expanded children’s space, we are able to move to these 2 services, reach more people, and better serve our community.
So it’s going to be packed out. It’s going to be tight for a little while, and then we’ll be adding the 3rd service (that’s just like Marathon), but we are going to be reaching more people, and THAT is what we are here for!
