It takes $25k to raise and train one guide dog, and they need all the help they can get.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504548881017531837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9252399.post-1162958680132471962006-11-07T23:04:00.000-05:002006-11-07T23:04:00.000-05:00Yeah, I'm not sure about that first comment either...Yeah, I'm not sure about that first comment either.<BR/><BR/>Yes, we do. We have decided to balance the time 50/50, doing mission and service to the community every other week, alternating with study, devotions, and "corporate" worship. For example: one week we'll meet at a pub and engage a passage of scripture (that happens to be this coming weekend), the week after we might go and visit someone's community and participate in their mission work (I believe the next community is Jono and Sarah's), the week after we have a slightly (only slightly) more traditional service (still at the pub, but in a back room they let us use ... I think 'Nette wants us to do some singing this time too, in addition to a more formal communion), and the fourth week we don't meet as a large community, but instead meet in our own communities to do more intensive mission there (this is often harder for my particular community, since we all have different mission projects that happen not on sundays, so we usually do some sort of study and discussion ... we did the whole book of Jude once, it was fun). We're trying to be as balanced as possible, not swinging the pendulum too far the other way, but not remaining in that static place we came from. The tendency of emerging and missional churches is, in some cases, to over-compensate and spend too much time in the community and not enough time as a church. Scripture says we're to do both, and so that is what we at mimos are trying to do. Does that help?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504548881017531837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9252399.post-1162956664440267732006-11-07T22:31:00.000-05:002006-11-07T22:31:00.000-05:00Don't know what that last comment is, but anyways....Don't know what that last comment is, but anyways...I've got a "missional/emerging church movement" quesition. I've been reading up a little bit on it lately and I can see clearly that it is based heavily on getting beside your neighbour, feeding the hungery, etc... as following an example of Jesus, which is great, and really it shouldn't just be the emerging church that is doing that. But in regards to what you've been saying about seeking, do you (the church) also do alot of bible teaching/study/reading/discussing as well? When you guys get together at the pub, or whereever it might be that week, what do you do exactly, or if it's different every time give me a few examples :)Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192707049815938495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9252399.post-1162935931897924212006-11-07T16:45:00.000-05:002006-11-07T16:45:00.000-05:00whos gay caz im not r uwhos gay caz im not r uAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
