We're tired of this thing we do on Sundays. Our pastor had a men's retreat and the group decided to continue the dialog. We were yearning for a deeper healing journey.

I'm going to have to come back and re-read some of this. got my brain going. thanks Jonathan. Brings to mind a conversation i was having with some pastors awhile back. 'The Gathering should not produce a community, but a community should come into a Gathering" trying to flesh out a communal concept of Church, Community, and true worship. where does it begin? i really like your thoughts here.

Insightful post. It got me thinking about the sorts of things we ought to be doing in the attractional phase.

- We gather to learn engagement.
- We gather to learn passion.
- We gather to make space for growth.
There is, of course, much more, but I do thank you for the thought fodder (both in this post and in many others).
