A Not So Quiet Sunday Gathering
Jan 16th, 2006 by bodyelectric
There has been a lot of conversation concerning our Sunday Gatherings among Dan, Kelly, and I (the vestry as well) and I want to open that up to others.
A few of us feel that we are at a crossroads in Three Nails and that we can go one of two ways: begin to multiply our Sunday Gatherings (like cell groups) or to eliminate them and begin to focus all of our energy as a community into cell groups. There is a temptation to drop Gatherings and release people to worship elsewhere on Sundays because that would make many of our lives less stressful and to free us up to invest our energy into the cells where the heart of Three Nails has always been. I personally find a great amount of value in our Gatherings and would hate to lose the opportunity to celebrate in worship with all of you, but I want to start the conversation with the larger group and see where it goes. Even if no one comments here, I hope murmurs of this question will begin to spread within the community and that we will end up in the place that God has for us as a community.
