Let me personally invite you to a special blogger event that I’m hoping to pull off next week, May 16, 2010, Sunday.
So, here’s the thing: I’m part of the launching team of a new church called LifeChurch Makati. It’s a new kind of church because not only its a non-denominational, non-sectarian organization, the method that’s going to be used is different from your typical Sunday church. For one, the teaching part will come directly from our partner church in the US, LifeChurch.tv on video. Of course, you’ll have a live worship band, only the worship will be “a notch higher”.
It’s really a different Sunday experience. That’s the reason why we want to have as much people to experience it, evaluate and share the word out. That’s why I’m inviting you.
I’m a blogger myself and I know how bloggers think. We want to share our good, even bad experiences to our audience through our blogs. I’m thinking that if you can heed to my invitation, you can experience this event and write about it in your blogs.
Some possible questions that you may have:
1. WHAT’S IT FOR ME?
The experience, and FREE LUNCH! :D To show gratitude for you covering the event, there will be a lunch especially for bloggers who covered the event. This is also going to be a great time for us to know each other and see the real face behind the avatar :D That will happen at Max’s Restaurant, Ground Floor of Glorietta 3 right after the event.
2. I’M A ROMAN CATHOLIC. CAN I ALSO JOIN?
Of course! The church is not denomination/”religion” specific. Anyone can come.
3. WHAT DO I BRING?
You can bring your cameras if you want. We just request that you turn of the flash during the event itself (which, I know you know, is a standard procedure.)
4. I DON’T REALLY HAVE A BLOG. I JUST USE TWITTER/FACEBOOK.
Twitter is micro-blogging. So, you’re a blogger :D You’re also invited.
This Sunday event happens right after the national election. I know we’re all tired of the same things we hear and see for the past 3 months. So this is the best time to refresh, hear a new and inspiring thing, and write about something other than politics :D So, I’d like to invite you to come. And pass on this link to other bloggers you know.
Click the “Attending” button, and on the event itself, please tell the people manning the welcome table that you’re a blogger and attending the blogger event. If you have other questions, you can ask here.
After my “highly successful” electionblogs, I stopped blogging about this election. I’m twittering, yes, but I just kind of felt that the blog world has gone ugly already, I don’t want to add anything more to what it is now.
Election season is fun, if you’re a masochist.
Villar accusing Noynoy of being a lunatic. Noynoy accusing Villar of being a fraud. Gordon telling everybody that he alone has the qualification to run the country. Erap blaming Villar for following his footsteps (can I hear Stock Exchange?). And everyone else claiming of being better than Noynoy.
But wait, there’s still more. Villar apparently loosing, turned to his weak, wheel-chaired mom. Don’t they have anything more to use that they have to resort to this pathetic move? Lately, I’m annoyed at Noynoy and his team conditioning the public for another people power. Seriously, winning isn’t everything dude.
Worst is, even our icons are fighting. Just read a long tweet from Kris Aquino today:
Apparently, this pertains to Manny Pacquiao in his endorsement commercial for Villar. I agree with TV princess Kris Aquino, the commercial is done with bad taste. Especially that it’s our pambansang kamao who said those words. But, hey, Manny Pacquiao is Manny Pacquaio. He can say whatever he wants to say.
I’m really, really tired already. Seriously.
I’m thinking of having a TV News fast for the next 7 days. Seeing these people fight, throw mud at each other, makes me want to throw up.
Let’s just get over with this one, quickly. We have other things to do. And yes, we should vote and pray for honest elections. But our hope is not solely dependent on these people — contrary to what they all claim in their advertisements. Trust God, work hard, love your family. That’s the key to a fulfilled, happy life. Villar and Noynoy and the rest of the candidates are not our super heroes. Let’s not depend on them.
Here officially joining the mobile computing bandwagon. I’m posting this entirely using the official Wordpreas app on an Android Phone. It is a pretty decent app comparable to its iPhone counterpart.
Let me write a quick note about LifeChurch Makati‘s last preview experience this Sunday.
We’re excited for this Sunday’s Preview Experience. This is our last chance to “tighten the screws” so to speak as we near our official launch on May 16.
This Sunday, we’re going to enjoy and be blessed with high energy worship and going to be challenged spiritually by Craig Groeschel’s message lifted from his recently released book “Christian Atheist”. If you’re planning to come, I promise you, after this event, you’re life will never be the same again.
Here’s the Facebook invite page. Bring your friends and your family members. The experience starts at exactly 10:45 am at Glorietta 4, Cinema 4 in Makati. Come earlier so we can have some more chats before the experience.
If you are interested on the subject of legalism and Jesus being the Lord of the Sabbath and has an hour of your time to spare, I’d like to introduce you to one of Mark Driscoll’s sermon, part his sermon series on the book of Luke, called “Jesus the Sabbath Lord”.
