There's a bible story about Jesus being in the wilderness with a crowd of people. With no In & Out or BurgerKing, people were in need of a meal. A young boy offered Jesus his lunch, 5 small loaves of bread and 2 fish. Jesus willingly took this meager amount and fed 5,000 people (you know it had to have been good bread when Jesus got done with it)! This blog contains my small dinner rolls, offered in hopes that Jesus might make fresh bread of it for others. Enjoy!
After a brief review of a Natural Church Development congregational self-assessment survey.
Pondering at this point 1. What is the need in Pullman that Cornerstone could reach? 2. What service or contributions could we bring to meet that need? 3. Do we have a "congregational profile" that describes our personality, gifts, strengths, passions? 4. The marker that needs improvement was related to needs-oriented evangelism. Real needs? Felt needs? Both? 5. What relationships, and what kind of relationships do individual Cornersonians have with the great continuum of people not going to church? Do we engage in real, personal relationships with them, apart from "God-talk?"
