Just got back from meeting with a group of people beginning to plan a new worship service. Pretty exciting - looking for new ways of doing church - more high energy - more interactive - more relational. We start with 18 people who will be going into their neighborhoods and social networkds testing some assumptions and interacting with others. We have a few questions that will be asked - feel free to try this yourselves.
1. Do you currently attend a local church in the area?
2. Why do you suppose most people around here do not regularly attend church?
3. What are the major needs in our community?
4. Do you think you might consider being a regular participant in a local church?
5. If so, what would that church be like?
We are heading out to find people who would be starting a walk with Christ or returning to the faith from which they have been absent for a season. The plans are to have things in place this fall and off we go.
Had a good day at church today. Always good when we celebrate baptism!
In the past few days have had some insights - here are some random thoughts.
When coming to a choice between achievement and character - choose character.
A couple of things relating to prayer: Start praying "Sun Stand Still" prayers - see the book of Joshua and see what this refers to - basically it is asking God to do audacious things so we may accomplish His purposes.
Another prayer I invited some of our staff to begin praying - That we be the most significant church God can dream us to be. -- I invite you to join in that prayer. Who knows exactly what God will do.
It's been a good day. Hot - Still good. I hope you've had a good day too.
