There's so much going on with 6:22... here's an update for you.
The Boiler Room
As
most of you know, 6:22 now has a physical home called the Boiler Room
in Uptown Greenville. We had our official grand opening last Thursday,
July 2nd - a worship night with 6:22 and the Glorious Unseen. The place
was packed and God's presence was strong. Many were crying or on their
knees praying. It was HOT, but everyone's perseverance to keep
worshiping in the heat was inspiring. Hopefully some photos or videos
will surface soon.
Along
with our Monday night Bible studies, the space is being used for a 6:22
office, a space for 6:22 band member Ray to teach guitar lessons and a
space for Harmony Church's summer prayer gatherings. Next week it will
be used as a recording studio for Matthew Lilley, and after Worshipfest
it will host weekly 6:22 Friday night worship gatherings! Our hope is
that this place will be filled with worship and prayer day & night.
We
are working on a Boiler Room web site that will eventually be at
greenvilleboileroom.com. In the meantime, if you want some more details
on the history and vision for the Boiler Room, please read the
following document:

with the awesome privilege of having our own space, we have added
responsibility, most notably financially. Although the first year's
rent has been covered, we now have to think about utility bills and
toilet paper! Please consider
becoming a monthly 6:22 partner to help us cover the costs. Even a small monthly committment helps us tremendously!
Along
with ongoing costs, we have two major one-time needs that we want to
have before we start Friday night meetings on August 14:
HVAC system. As
we discovered Thursday night, window AC units just won't cut it when we
have a large crowd (we had four window units going full blast all day).
We need central heat/air, which will cost around $6000-7000, and our
landlord will not cover these costs. There is a chance for us to get a
system donated, so PLEASE PRAY!
PA System.
Despite what many people think, 6:22 does not have its own sound
system. We have had amazing people like John Lance or Youthquake who
have let us borrow their systems for previous events. We do have
microphones, but we need everything else - speakers, amps, sound board,
snake, FX. We have a potential sound board that we can borrow
temporarily, but we really need to get some speakers for the space.
Please pray or consider
making a one-time gift to 6:22.
Summer Bible Study
For
the first time 6:22 is taking the summer to host a weekly Bible study
on Monday nights. Since May we have been learning about King David's
tent by studying one of 6:22's Core Values each week (a list of values
can be found on
the purpose page of our web site).
We will be meeting every Monday night through August 3. We gather to
eat a pot-luck meal together at 6pm, then have a time of prayer and
Bible study. We are usually done around 8-8:30. We are meeting at the
Boiler Room (220 E. 5th St, Uptown Greenville). Please come join us any
time!
