I've felt for awhile that we were really missing something. That "something" is community. We were discovering that the women of the church don't really know the men of the church that well, and vice-versa. And I really felt that our children ought to be in settings where they can observe the lives of godly men and women.
So this summer, in conjunction with our study of the early church, we're going to practice "being" church. I'm sure it will be a little messy, but community always is. And, as we saw last night, the early church was definitely messy!
