Caught In The Act Of Neighborliness...

When the Google film-truck came rolling by YOUR church, what did they see?



Gotta love seein' what Google saw at Southeastern Church!

Ordering Angel Food in our community...

[an example from my community in Indianapolis...]

Hey is anyone else struggling to even make it INTO this 'middle class' that the politicians keep talking about? Up to $250,000/year??? LOL. That's just crazy-talk. If you're making $250,000, my friend, you are in the 97th percentile in the richest country in the world!



For the rest of us though, here's a great opportunity to save on your family's food bills. Angel Food is NOT a commercial venture or scam -- it's a nonprofit initiative comprised primarily of a lot of faith-based volunteers working together to reduce the collective overhead cost of food. And a new program location has just been approved for the Carmel area, at The ROCC (131st x Old Meridian).

If you'd like to be able to get appx $60-worth of food for $30, click for details. Orders for the next monthly opportunity must be in by October 10th.

Question: Who can impact my neighborhood the most?

• John McCain
• Barack Obama

Answer: Apparently, neither.


Surely each of us is more likely to impact our own neighborhoods... than Washington can. Or for that matter, even the Indiana Statehouse. Or the courthouse in Noblesville.

So if any of us think there will be a great NATIONAL revival that will get the Great Commission done... maybe this suggests otherwise.

Bottom line... doesn't it all come down to local, very local, and my-neighborhood-local?

Y'know, it occurs to me that Jesus really MIGHT have meant... neighbor-neighbor.

Neighborhood TV goes LIVE !

How about LIVE internet TV is for YOUR neighborhood?

It's way easier than you think. It's collaborative. It's fun.

And it can be an ongoing ability to share life with your neighbors... including eternal life.

Neighborhood Christmas Parties

Thank you so much for your prayers for this last weekend. God answered! (Surprised?)

• About 200 people stood to their feet to commit to purposefully PRAY FOR , CARE FOR, AND SHARE CHRIST WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS!
• 
  
• Then, about 100 people signed up to come to one of the THREE MODEL CHRISTMAS PARTIES next weekend! (The way we train churches is by actually hosting a full fleged party, just like the manual teaches, at a church member's home. That way, they will feel exactly what their neighbors will feel when they host a similar party in December. It is a fun, low-threat way to open the doors to redemptive friendships in your neighborhood!)

Missional Network: "Canning Hunger"

Timothy Conner
Newton, KS

"Speed the Kingdom and learn more about your neighborhood on a Saturday morning than you have in years living there. “Canning Hunger” will open connections with neighbors ~ in a way that’s natural and comfortable ~ while doing what America expects the church to be doing: helping alleviate poverty and hunger."
