Missional Venues

I was checking out the "Venues" section of The Daily Collegian yesterday, looking for some creative cool stuff to check out this weekend.

My weekend picks-

A photography exhibit, a Cello recital, and a basement pot-luck rock-show (not in Venues...a friend of mine is putting it on), and of coarse a Super Bowl party on Sunday!

But that's just me. Where do you find yourself this weekend? Where will you already be that will give you an opportunity to be a light to others? Are there any other venues that you could intentionally plan to attend as an imbedded missionary?

The cool thing about Christianity is that it does not call us to hide from the world-- to retreat to church basements to read books about the rapture. We are called to be like Jesus-- to be humans! To come along side people...to eat, drink, study, work, view art, design buildings, engineer stuff, use software, speak languages,play sports, and rock out (or rap-out if that's a word)to a good show! But as we participate in the things that we enjoy, and share these activities with people from all backgrounds and beliefs, we have the privelige of sharing with them the joy that goes deeper than all of these activities, and the hope that conquers all despair!

So make plans with friends, check out "Venues" (http://www.collegian.psu.edu/venues/), watch some football, and be missional!
