the Giver

the challenge

Where to meet - first threshold is 40 people

* assess geographic distribution

Principle: not convenience or comfort, but common cause and common sense.

Second threshold: 70

Goal: Multiple venues

Expanding Base

* leaders need to be intentional about mentoring/recruiting help (we also need to start thinking in terms of kids ministries in 2012)

Principle: service toward conversion.

Being Proactive re: Mentoring

* sign-ups - effective? Have mentors names posted for availability? Ask outright.

Principle: in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Creative Elements

Art, Dance, Video, Music, Urban Poetry

Principle: the using of gifts to honor God collectively.

Mobility

Principle: not beholden to a locale for effectiveness. Should enhance and not be reliant upon. “That is why I’ve come...”. assess geographic distribution

Principle: not convenience or comfort, but common cause and common sense.

How can we infuse our Gatherings with a sense of mobility? A combination of Gathering/Event via worship release concert? Where and with whom? Podcasts?
