I’m willing to bet that if I asked you if you are going to attend the next Teams Night, your answer would be something along the lines of, “we’ll see” or “if I don’t have anything else going on that night.” There may be some of you who are anxiously awaiting the date of the next one, but I would guess that on the whole most of you are on the fence about whether to attend or not.

Allow me to blow that all up for you with this announcement:

The next Teams Night will be held on THURSDAY, June 9^th at 8 p.m. at 301 Garden Street.

Before you drop your coffee and toss your phone, here’s why we’re moving Teams Night to a Thursday.

1.) We want to talk to you

If you’ve never been, Teams Night is a night for everyone who is serving in our family to come together all at once. It’s our chance to celebrate what God is doing in and through our teams and be refueled by Christ’s incredible message of grace and love. It’s a special time where Pastor Chris gets to speak directly to those of you who give so much for the mission of helping people find their way back to God. We want that time with all of you specifically and quite frankly, you need it. And here’s why.

2.) We don’t want you to do it alone

It can be easy to walk into a night like this and immediately think that this is a chance for you and God to spend time together alone and that whatever happens is personal and private.

Here’s the thing – our relationship with God is meant to be personal. Personal, but not private.

Our heart is that you actually have a chance to exist with the people that you serve with, week in and week out, for a moment outside of serving. We want you to stop and give God the praise and thanks He deserves for the things He is doing through your team and through our family as a church. SPOILER ALERT: For this particular Teams Night, we really want to give you a chance to share how God is working in your serving and how He has done so through the people you serve alongside. And to do that TOGETHER.

3.) We want you to go

Do you ever get to the end of the week and you are just completely spent? Same here. Is it impossible to get a babysitter on Friday? We know. Do you have three other invites for events on Friday? We figured you might. That’s why we want you to have that breath of fresh air at Teams Night before the end of the week hits. Simply put, we want to make it easy for you to say YES to Teams Night, YES to spending time with your people and with the One who deserves it the most.

Bottom Line: If you’re serving at Hoboken Grace, mark your calendar for Thursday, June 9^th at 8 p.m. at 301 Garden Street. We’ll see you at Teams Night.
