Rethinking Church

A new media campaign of the United Methodist Church is designed to promote the idea that there is a rich mission field at our doorstep, if we will only rethink the way we "do" church. To get a glimpse of this campaign, you can check out http://www.10thousanddoors.com/.


Have you ever wondered why God would create the Church? On Sunday mornings in May I'll be looking at what the Christian tradition calls the Body of Christ. Using passages from John's gospel, I'll begin with what Jesus says about himself, and try to unpack the purpose of the church using his wonderful images in John 15, "the good shepherd", "the true vine", "friend", and then round it out with Jesus' prayer for his followers in John 17.

Join me in thinking through this idea, or, as I've called the series, "Rethinking Church" . I'd love to see you!
