Launch Team Meeting #3

Eleven of us Gathered in Room 203 for the 3rd Launch Team Meeting.

We started on time. Yes, folks we started on time.

We heard from Amy (regarding Kids Church) and Heather (regarding the "Connection Team") - both of these talented ladies are trying to form TEAMS of people to drive these necessary systems. So, please, please get involved.

I blasted through "defining the launch team" and basically said the following...

"The main purpose of this team is outward focused toward the future church. It is a team of committed individuals who will work together to prepare for and execute an effective launch.

The Launch team is a temporary team in existence only through the Launch Day."

Lastly we brainstormed what could/should happen "Between the Sundays".
To set up the brainstorming session, I mentioned some of the phrases that characterize our church.

• Church isn't a building
• Church isn't a meeting on Sundays.
  
• Church is people learning to love others and God
• We want to be/build authentic community
  

With that in mind, here are some of the things that came up in that session. Anything in BOLD came up multiple times in different small groups. Please comment, if you'd like to add to the list

• Game nights
• Dinners @ homes - weekly
• Bible studies: some specifics- video based ones, marriage (Love and Respect), a study that helps define "reasons to believe".
• Play Dates - moms with kids
• Theology Pub- poor some beer, pic a topic and discuss... can be done at homes or in bars/pubs
• Movies and theology nights
• Conferences and Seminars
• service projects - local missions
• Saturday breakfasts, studies
• Dinners for Six
• Community Activities like Sporting Games and Concerts

What else? what has been a rich experience for you in your past that's not on this list? You don't even have to be part of the infamous Launch Team to contribute here.
