We will commit ourselves to an intensive love effort with a few people. We will be committed to smallness. Large numbers tend almost inevitably toward depersonalization and institutionalism, toward a lessening of commitment. So we resist the temptation of numbers and the power that comes through numbers.

This is where we are now. We have stopped looking for numbers. We have come to realize that while we are called to be missional, to "be Christ" to the world around us and to invite, by our lives, people into Christ with us, we are about the building this small community of people into truly transformed people. This small transformed community, and others that will spring from it, will be signs to the world.

Oh, and we're having our first monthly public gathering, the one I was talking about before, on Saturday, March 1st, at 5:00pm at the Church of The Apostles - 1321 Trent Blvd. in Lexington.

We want to thank our good friends at Apostles for their generosity and honor them for showing a spirit of unity in the Body of Christ. Thanks guys! Hopefull we'll see some of you there to hang out with us.
