Questions

I've been working on the series "Slang".  In this series I'll be explaining phrases that mean a lot to Community Christian but may mean nothing to other people.  Phrases like "church for the rest of us", "paper people", "the 60,000", "Chapter 2", etc. As you can imagine a lot of this series has made me think again about who we are as a church and why we do what we do. 

Recent conversations with two people I am praying for every day to come to Christ have convinced me of the need for what we try to do.  Also I seem to be having more conversations (mostly by e-mail) with regular church goers who are "checking us out" who don't get why what we are trying to do is important or even necessary.

I've been going hard at this mission to reach unconnected people and together grow to full devotion for 18 years now.  I continue to be amazed how inward focused Christ followers can become.    If you are a part of Community Christian please be here this Sunday for the second week of Slang.
