We need to work on developing community with all the people who walk in and out of church every week with no connection and this was a great way to do that. It was comfortable, no pressure, and generous. I hope you guys decide to keep up the practice (I bet we could even find someone to donate the donuts each week to keep them free). Cate Hi Rich,

Whether it was with scipture reading or coming in at the wrong place, etc. But we're still learning as we're incorporating different cultural elements.

Not at at least, when they can choose to remain cozy inside with everyone else. Besides, what you're really doing in that sense is telling them to head towards their cars (and home) and not fellowship at all. My one request is that going with the whole Sunridge untraditional coffee-house vibe we're always keen to create, we substitute something less messy than sugar glazed and sprinkle coated doughnuts. Why not scones and biscotti? Sure it's crumbly and bready, but not being sugar coated means that it's less work for people to clean up and we'll not have to worry about pests and ants in the worship center licking the sugar from the floor. And you can buy the biscotti in container-ship sized individually-wrapped portions at Costco. (Great for people who have food-handling sanitation issues wondering if some runny-nose kid has just personally inspected the one you want to eat.) Otherwise we might have to rip out the carpet in a few months from careless 6-year olds completely destroying it every week. Which would completely ruin the whole vibe of the room. We need to figure out what to do best with the room we have and available resources and not try and reinvent the wheel by tearing things apart and extensively modifying something to do X when it was designed for Y.

We've started a follow-up small group to discuss the focus text of the message and it has been growing each week. It looks like we may have to break it into two groups to allow for sufficient discussion. We had a fairly good worship service this weekend.

Rehearsal, worship music, DONUTS IN THE WORSHIP CENTER!!! Community being built in the house of God. The Brook was awesome even with the rain and our Life Group, best group ever so far. Rich, thanks for being a part of most of it. Your friendship and leadership is so under appreciated, but you are awesome.
