Community: The Beginning
I have spent the last several weeks thinking a whole lot about Community. Three weeks ago, Jeremy Voss asked me the question…”If you were going to put together an event, where families would come together for some common reason, what would it look like?
I began thinking of some non-church “family events” and what they looked like. Problem was I couldn’t really think of many. The few I could think of we birthday parties, which don’t really gather complete families, Super Bowl Parties, and… Well, to be honest that was about all I could think of. I am sure there are others, but I just can’t think of many.
Over the next several weeks, I hope to begin a discussion of what “Community” is. I have some thoughts on this, but I know I lack complete understanding and in fact I am sure I have barely begun to scrape the surface of the thoughts that others have on community.
I didn’t want to jump right in to it in the first blog because I would like to get a variety of thoughts and opinions, the more the merrier. So, if you have friends, or family, or church people, or non-church people, or anyone really that might care about this discussion, please invite them to interact and discuss. I plan on posting at least once per week and this discussion will go on for as long as it needs to.
I will begin by asking two questions:
What is your definition of “Community”?
Can you think of any “non-church” examples of true community?
