Kudzu Life: Mission Ideas: Church of the Community
http://kudzulife.blogspot.com/2015/04/mission-ideas-church-of-community.html
Real life and real faith in Augusta GA and beyond. Monday, April 27, 2015. Mission Ideas: Church of the Community. I enjoyed worship Sunday at a very missionally oriented church. They exemplify an old, historic congregation that has taken. And continues to take, big risks which has helped them to take on a vibrant new role in the community. They seem to be a church that has embraced their humanity and weakness, points by word and deed to the way of Christ, and actively seeks to serve their community.

Have you ever had that moment where you knew you were doing exactly what you were put on earth here to do? So, how did you discover that call, that place where as Frederick Buechner has said, your deep gladness meets the worlds deep needs? Was it trial and error? A Crowd of Sorrows.

Kudzu Life: Mission as an Annual Conference Movement
http://kudzulife.blogspot.com/2015/04/mission-as-annual-conference-movement.html
Real life and real faith in Augusta GA and beyond. Monday, April 6, 2015. Mission as an Annual Conference Movement. I really appreciate the way our North Georgia Connectional Ministries leaders and communication team work together. It is so easy to fall into habit and patterns that create individual ministry areas that don't play well and work well together. What can happen easily in a congregation can really take on a life of its own when you are talking about 930 congregations! How Big Is Your Team?
