We had a good House Church gathering last night. Spent some time reflecting on who we are as a house church – attributes like affirming, fun, safe, encouraging. We all agreed that we need to be more intentional about being in each other’s lives and about being involved in our community. It’s that missional/communal tension. My prayer is that we would not become inwardly focused on warm-fuzzies, but would find our fellowship on the missional journey. I think that will be harder and less “modern” (nice little boxes of nurture and outreach), messier and more in the mix – - – how to communicate that and set that as a community ideal and core narrative?
