2010 August

In the coming weeks, we will be completely restructuring our Volunteer system at Ethos Church. In an effort to keep things simple, we have gone to great lengths to make sure it only takes a handful of people to make Sundays happen so the majority of our volunteer efforts can go towards serving our city.

Although it does not take many people to make each service happen, we believe it is vital to involve as many people as possible so our Volunteers do not get burned out, and so more people can experience the joy of serving in Jesus’ church.

So this fall, we are asking that every person in our church commits to serving on 1 volunteer team at 1 of our Worship Gatherings only once a month. So in one calendar year, you will only serve on Sunday 12 times. In a calendar year, we have 156 Sunday Worship Gatherings … we are asking you to help in a small fraction of them.

Our next Volunteer Training Day is Sunday, August 22nd at 1 PM (more details coming soon). If you are interested in signing up for one of our Volunteer teams you can do so at church this Sunday in the lobby.

Will you be a Volunteer? We cannot do it without you!

It has been an incredible summer at Ethos Church. Hundreds of our people served all across our city, a couple dozen from our faith community left the comfort of Nashville to share the gospel globally, people gave their lives to Jesus, and we continued to grow in our love for one another.

Despite many of our University students being gone for the summer, and other Ethos regulars being gone due to busy summer schedules — we saw hundreds of new people find their place with us at Ethos Church.

As we look to the end of summer, we eagerly anticipate the return of our University students, those that have been displaced by hectic schedules, and all those that will be joining us for the first time.

As we have often said, we would never throw a dinner party at our house and not have enough seats for our dinner guests, and so we refuse to invite our friends to church if we don’t plan on making room for them around the table.

So beginning Sunday, August 29th, we will be adding a third service. Just like our current two service format, all three services will be the same.

Ethos Church Fall Schedule (Starting 8.29.10)
Worship Gathering Times : (10:30 AM, 5 PM, and 7 PM)

We pray adding a third service will provide another opportunity for your friends and family to come to know Jesus and grow in their faith with our family at Ethos. Spread the word and we will see you Sunday.
