Just back from church after the fellowship committee meeting, we had a discussion on how to get more new people to our fellowship, and what can we do?
I participated in the discussion and we talked about various things, e.g. organising hiking trips, sailing, even financial planning seminars (we've got so many accountants, haha)
On my journey home, a thought popped up.
What exactly are we doing??
Are we doing things our way again?
I remembered when I was a kid, our mentors were always saying that we were not in a community centre, we were not the same with non-Christians. We were gathered because of God.
I agree sometimes we may need to compromise. Is this the sort of compromise that God wants??
Or is it just us doing things in our way, in the way we are familiar with??
So it comes back to the question, what attracts people to church? Is it the activity or God? Or people? Or what?
If we get people to come back because of the activity, are they going to stay??
And most importantly what God's plan is? What does He think of all these??
