Tonight is our first large group of the semester at UNC. One of the things that I love about campus ministry is the seasons and all the new starts that you get. Every five months or so, you get a re-start and a chance to take a deep breath and set a new course.
This semester at our large groups we’re talking about what it looks like to be a missional community. This has been a buzz phrase for us all year long, and we want to begin to flesh it out a little bit. Next weekend is our leadership retreat, and I’m trying to hammer out a working definition of missional community. I think the trick is that I think that just about any community can be ‘missional’ about something, so what are the distinctives about Christian missional communities? Any thoughts would be welcome.
If you’ve got a few seconds, say a quick prayer for our new beginning tonight at UNC as we start the new semester.

missional=a li'l more beer drinkin' ... a li'l less krispy kreme ... beer drinkin' for the 21 year olds of course. ain't that the essence of being a missional Christian at carolina?
Or it's reading "Radical Reformission" and wishing you lived in Seattle
Burly, your thoughts and insights are welcomed. Glad you found us.
And yes, alcohol is the primary felt need that we're aiming for next semester with our new vision statement: InterVarsity: Beer, the Bible, and You.
Sweet Dan.
