a new name (2)


the new church name? church 29:11 - and it fits the 4 criteria

first, it has to fit who we are, where God is taking us, our vision and dream
we are all about God's big dreams for our lives, our families and our community

it must be new, contemporary
there is no baggage associated with this name - it is definitely brand new - even the domain name was available

it must breed curiosity
i can't wait for the sign to go up out front - i hope the name isn't so distracting it causes accidents or people to be late for work - but it should definitely arouse curiosity - as a matter-of-fact it already has

and it must open the door for us to share with others - to share something about our church and our God
i had the privilege of sharing the reason behind the name for the first time in the community at a funeral home of all places! and i have had many opportunities since - but i can't wait until the sign goes up and people begin visiting the website or stopping me at wal-mart - because we have a big dream for our community and we want others to come dream along with us!

the full explanation behind the name later...you can visit the website of the church we've been dreaming about at http://www.church2911.com/
