Our Scattered and Gathered Worship Event was a great success, with visits to at least ten different congregations and a wonderful potluck dinner, worship service, and conversation that is helping us think carefully about hospitality and worship. I wrote some thoughts on the church website, so take a minute to look those over and offer your own observations in the comments section at the end of the article.
This Sunday, our worship team is back to bring us the Sunday Gathering we know and love. We’ll be concluding our five part series on “Big Questions for a New, Emerging Church” with How shall we live together?
Take a minute to think of someone you know – maybe a neighbor or a friend – who doesn’t currently have a church they attend, and invite them to join us Sunday morning for worship. The worst that could happen is they say “no,” and if they come they’ll get a chance to experience the community that you and I enjoy every week.

P.S. – If you have a favorite Christmas Eve worship tradition, please share it with me by replying to this email. I can’t promise we’ll use every idea, but I’m curious about what you know and love.
