Ebenezers Inaugural
Here they are--tickets to the Ebenezers Inaugural.
We're going to kick off our Saturday Night services with four inaugural services. We want every NCCer to be able to be part of history. We'd like every NCCer to try out a Saturday Night service, but not everybody can attend at the same time :) So we'll have four inaugural services:
March 11 @ 6 PM
March 11 @ 8 PM
March 18 @ 6 PM
March 18 @ 6 PM
We'll make free tickets available this Sunday.
We decided to ticket the event so people could hang on to the tickets as a memento. I'm sure they'll be worth thousands on ebay :) Seriously, lots of people keep ticket stubs from special games or concerts. Why not church?

Can't wait!!! Is it limited to 1 ticket per person?
We're hoping NCCers invite friends so it's definitely not limited to 1 per person!

Mark - here is another benefit to it being a ticketed event...your attendance will go way up! Every time we offer free tickets for an event or service (such as Christmas Eve), our attendance is much higher than without the tickets. The free tickets communicate value, momentum, excitement, and anticipation. Just the fact that you have tickets makes me want to come all the way from Granger!
Tim,
If you drive all the way from Granger we'll throw in a free double espresso :)
Thanks for the validation. We had a tough time knowing how to approach the opening services, but an "inaugural" seemd to fit DC culture.

Mark,
Just found this site the other day. Great!
What format did you decide on for the Ebenezer's services? My church in Tampa is grappling with new and innovative ministries and a coffee house is one idea that has come up. I would love to know how you're going to approach this.
David,
I'll probably post on that quite a bit as we get started.
We're trying to make the services more interactive. We're used to meeting in a theater that we rent so being in a coffeehouse we own will be a great complement. We can be more proactive with fellowship--feel free to hang out upstairs and grab a cup of coffee. We can we more interactive--do Q & A after messages.
We're really excited about experimenting with some new ways of doing church at the coffeehouse.

I am excited! I hope you all have milk shakes! :)
Perhaps another 80's Christian music competition during in the coffee house???
