We have debuted a new site this week, dedicated to providing "lead-in discussions" for our Sunday services; in other words, you can prepare with us, study with us, and comment on the topic leading up to our next Sunday service. It will definitely make the message more meaningful to you, but it's more than that. We are a community pursuing God together, not a community waiting for a "shot in the arm" from a pastor on Sunday. It will provide a platform for family discussion, table group discussion, Sunday discussion, and personal one-on-one time with God.
Like many things at the Springs, there is a vision for the future and there is current reality. Most of what we're doing is in its infancy, and Intake is certainly one of those things. We envision resourcing for daily spiritual development of families, groups, and individuals. It will take time and additional resources to grow this area of our ministry, but it will come. And since you know this is our beta version of Intake, be sure to let us know what you think: what works, what doesn't, what would be helpful to you that we haven't included.
Please note that our goal is not merely to develop an online community. Intake is meant to be a tool that enhances neighborhood life and community life at the Springs. High tech should meet high touch: online resourcing should lead to great face-to-face conversations between friends and family members; it should also be accompanied by (and even promote) serving, helping, challenging...loving God and loving your neighbor.
The Intake web address is listed among my links in the right hand column, so check it out!
