Expect - Engage - Enjoy

Today was interesting. I took a group with me a seminar at another church here in town, a much larger church. I was expecting this great conference, we paid a lot for this, but it never materialized. The one guy talked about how in his ministry the key was to get people to expect, engage, and enjoy their times together. We came expecting, ready to engage and enjoy; but, well...
Ok, that got me thinking about any given Sunday at church. Folks from all walks of like and with a rainbow array of needs come expecting, wanting to be engaged, ready to enjoy; but, well...
It's really that important to have our act together; for some it may literally be spiritual life and death! As a church we maybe an hour to give them a taste of the King and His kingdom; to engage them were the 'live', bring joy into their soul, and prepare them to go back out there, ready to fight that good fight.
Good thing God gave us His Holy Spirit to 'get er done'; or all would be loss.

It is a big task. But if we can look at ourselves critically with intent to make ourselves better, I think we can do a better job.
