Refuge: The Experience
In preparation for the Refuge: Thailand concert on Sunday night, Sunday services at Princeton Alliance Church are going to look a little different than usual. We are inviting each of you to join us in The Experience, which will be open Sunday morning from 9am – 1:30pm, and Sunday evening from 5pm – 7pm right before the concert.
But, what exactly is The Experience?
The purpose of the experience is to expose issues occurring around the world TODAY. Many of these issues are heart breaking and shocking. As Christians, it is our duty to expose and take action concerning these issues. The prophet Amos says “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream”(Amos 5:24). Believe it or not, Amos is talking about worshiping God. When we worship God properly, justice rolls on like a river. We are righteous in true worship, not just when we sing worship songs, but when we worship God through praying, giving and going. The Refuge Experience seeks to encourage and exhort this kind of worship.
Just as its name suggests, you will literally experience some of the issues and hardships that people around the world deal with every day. These include things like hunger, thirst, lack of medicine, human trafficking and, most significantly, a lack of connection to God.
The Experience, through different stations, will give you the opportunity to see, and even feel, these issues in great detail, so that you might come to better understand the plight of the lost in the world. At the same time, you will get a chance to experience the hope that is Jesus by seeing what it is we can do to help meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the lost around the world.
Visit us for any one hour during the morning from 9am – 1:30pm (half-hour worship service, half-hour Refuge Experience) or for any half-hour 5pm-7pm before the concert.
You won’t want to miss it.
