Good times
We had a great launch team meeting tonight. It seemed like everyone was on the same page and we moved a few steps forward. We began the process of determining what we will do and what we won't do. Some things we decided that we will do are missional small groups (undercurrents), creative, engaging sunday gatherings and a kids ministry that is super high impact that meets during the week in the community as well as Sunday mornings during church. Some things we decided we would NOT do are altar calls, embarassing guests, age/gender specific ministries (maybe youth - the rest will be included in the undercurrents), and....picnics! Instead we are going to try something that is aptly stolen from Southside community church in Surrey called the Big Pig Gig. It's a massive pig roast and we will open it up to the entire community or possibly tag it on with some other event in the city...who knows...maybe it will become an annual citywide event. Anyways...I'm excited for how things are shaping up. We may be naming our kids ministry "Upstream" which I think is pretty cool. The future is looking bright!
