Our church that we attend is working really hard to go a different direction. Before we ever started attending they had awana's and men's and women's groups that were made to draw people in the church. They decided it wasn't working for them and completely eliminated these programs. Now they consider themselves "missional". We are in the process of making small groups and learning how to tell a testimony or story so people can relate to us and us to them. The point of the small groups is to figure out how we can get out into the community and bring people in. I love the idea of making programs that take you out into the community instead of trying to draw people in. I know it is going to be a process to get there but I see this being an amazing oppurtunity. I also know it will be a challenge and I am a little intimidated...but this is why we are here right?
Im not sure if you have heard of Brandon Heath but he pretty much has it wrapped up in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OihvG607W-c I love this song! It is exactly what our attitude should be.
Please pray for me as I am trying to find where my place is in all this and as I try to find courage to be a bold believer!
