What about Bob?
The idea of a blog site for members and friends of Monetecito Covenant has genuine possibilities, but there are some bugs to work out; like how to let you know this is here and how to make your comments easy to receive. Bob Ludwick (bobludz@yahoo.com) saw the first posting and added a couple of ideas for conversations:
1. Decorating/Lighting the Redwood Tree in the entry area of the main parking lot. Bob has lights to donate for a good group project. Any takers?
2. Direct mail(marketing) database. The Cold Spring School database is about 1,000 properties in the vicinity of the school (and MCC!) Why not access this as our main mailing database? While newspaper ads are a good start with a circulation of 70,000 subscribers. Is this our primary target (Bob thinks NO) Is focussing on folks more than 3 miles from us, while neglecting those close by good missions? Hmmm. Jesus used the model of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. How's our Jerusalem doing?
3. Saturday or Sunday Evening service. What would another (second) worship service be like for MCC? Are we doing a good job with "vertical integration" taking the core of the gospel message and "re-packaging it" for a different community. What would that look like? Bob's got ideas! What are yours?

I say we market an all-comers worship service that has no title connection to MCC...call it The Edge, for instance. Feature an amalgam of traditional/ancient elements blended with newer (dare we say, "Edgier"?) elements. You know, incense and chant side by side with rock music and drama/preaching. Poetry. Healing prayer...praying on knees. Meditation. Dance. Shouting Amen.
DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!
Amen
Yes!
