Tag, You're It...

Turn to your neighbor and say, "Tag, You're It."

Hmmmm. Tim Bednar is at it again. Says the Church is the people, and that the internet is changing everything. Now he's saying 'tags' are changing the church... and perhaps the Church?

The Innovative Church?

Excerpted from Chris Charron, VP of Research at Forrester Research (Consumer Forum 2005):
"Consumers aren't listening to you anymore....
They're listening to each other."

"Your customers are smarter than you are...
Tap into their innovative power."

Mega Church Game



*********************************
Pastor Paul's editorial note: (Speechless -- then LOLLLLLLLLLL)

After discussing this in our egroup, we decided to seize this great opportunity. We've now ordered a boat-load of these games to give away at next week's meeting of the New Members Class in progress. [Current members may also request one if they'd like to participate.]

Each participant will be allowed to design just exactly what THEY WANT in a church. Their results will help our coaches direct them to the nearest church within commuting distance that fits their every hope & dream.... for people just like themselves.

For those who instead choose to stay here and build the Church for the neighborhood, please return your game. We're sending them to our inner-city sister-neighborhood church, to help them also sort/redistribute their consumer-driven members.

Btw, we're sorry for interupting the agenda of the New Members Class. However, we believe that with a smaller class (and perhaps a smaller church) we'll be able to make up for lost time as we pick up where we left off... studying what the Bible has to say about 'The Church'.

And then try to become that, in Indy Heights. And accomplish its work.

Blessings All,
Pastor Paul

[More than a hat-tip, to Tim Bednar! LOLLLL. Thanks!]
