Church Thoughts Part 5

Hey guys

So i met with a few peeps on sunday and we were thinking that in the mean time we will need to focus on 3 main things. And they are:

Evangelism/Community: So inviting friends to not just a worship service but inviting them into community. So we were thinking of doing neutral area things like watching movies, bowling, volleyball, dinner. So we want to invite them more into community and not just worship service. We believe that relational evangelism is the best technique.

Mid-Week Bible Study: This will just be for the core. We will study the Bible on church but also study this culture and generation and why they like Jesus but not the church. We want to educate ourselves as much as possible. So this will include evangelism, come as you are cultures, creating a culture of growth, authentic community, other religions, facing tough questions etc.

Sunday Service: So this will include worship and preaching. No Sunday School at the moment or ever..lol

One thing we talked about to, is that we need to stop being in cliques. The church has to be open to everyone. And everyone needs to talk to new people and make them feel like they are a part of us. Make them a part of the community and the family.

We talked about how hard it was for some to get integrated in our group. So this is a very big thing for me. We have to be welcoming and understand that we are leaders now and not just followers. Or we will never grow.

To jump start this process, I've been giving books out that people can read.

Thats about it. I meet with the next group tonight and I will have another update tomorrow. Thanks guys!
