He and the small group from their "home church" just started walking the neighborhood, knocking on doors and talking with people. Not so much "we're starting a church you should come", but more "hi, we'd like to know you better". They would even help with projects if they walked in on the middle of it. <BR/>It was their way of practicing all 3 elements, all at the same time. They canvassed something like 3000 homes in the months before the first service. <BR/><BR/>I liked the way they approached it - handing out no more than a casual calling card but being real in the community. Making their presence known. I would have stood on the porch and chatted with someone... all the better for that first service if you go and already know someone. It's all about personal, human, connection!Me:http://www.blogger.com/profile/02568280491920583093noreply@blogger.com
