MEGA CHURCH
...imagine if you could create the church you've always wanted - any way you wanted

Do it all without the Bible! With network play enabled, you can steal members from other churches and earn points just like you saved them yourself. The possibilities are endless! To grow your church, work on all the strategic variables,

  • Write a mission statement
  • Choose a logo
  • Get a billboard
  • Hire a professional worship musician
  • Book a rock band
  • Buy plasma television for your PowerPoint presentations
The Mega-Church craze is definitely on steroids - you won't believe this. Does anyone remember Acts 2:42-47?

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TRIES NEW OUTREACH TECHNIQUE
...priests on wheels

LARKNEWS REPORTS TREMENDOUS OUTREACH "OP"...

"Fleets of CC-Mobiles, new roving confession and Communion trucks, are plying neighborhoods in Mexico and the U.S. "When I heard the tinkling music, I thought it was the ice cream man, so I sent the kids out with money," says Maria Gonzalez. "Then I saw a priest at the wheel. He invited us into the truck to have brightly-colored Communion wafers and confess anything we needed to confess. I have to admit, it was convenient." This is where faith's "rubber meets the road."

Church growth experts are way behind the curve on this new innovation for pastoral ministry. Maybe groups like the ECM will soon adopt this as well?

Hope this puts a little levity in your day :-).
