Who would notice?

Question: If our church were to suddenly disappear overnight, who besides our members would notice? Would we be missed enough to suggest that Christ was really doing something in our community through us?

Answer: We'll talk more at The Gathering this Sunday morning.

    What if someone within the church suddenly vanished? Would anyone else in the church notice? And what does that say about the church's vision and ministry??

    That's also a valid point. It's very important for any church family to do whatever it can to help its members find their place. While a church can't simply "do" community for someone, no matter how much we may want to, it's important that we as leaders do what we can to provide the opportunity for each member of the family to find and retain their place in the family. From there it's up to them to invest in healthy relationships.
