KC Symphony at Resurrection
Resurrection has been a host of the Kansas City Symphony's Pops Series last season and for the upcoming 2007-08 season. According to an article in the Kansas City Star, the move has been a good one for the Pops Series. Last week I found a promotional brochure from the Pops Series that was left in the narthex. This was produced by the Kansas City Symphony and included information about Pops Series and the venue (Resurrection) where it would be hosted. I found it fascinating to see what this brochure highlighted:
FREE parking adjacent to the venue
Entrance from Roe Avenue, Nall Avenue and Briar Street
Theater-style padded seats
Two giant video screens flanking the stage
Easy wheelchair access
On site coffee shop
Close to a wide variety of restaurants
None of these have to do with the purpose or vision of the congregation, but are perhaps the first things that a non-religious person might consider when thinking about coming to worship here. You can find a more complete description of Resurrection by the Kansas City Symphony here.
What would someone write about your congregation or meeting place who had never experienced worship there or been a part of the community?
For more information about the reasons Resurrection is hosting the Pops Series check the end of the March 30 weekly email from Pastor Adam Hamilton. The full text of that email can be found here.
