200

This past weekend I had the privilege to hang out with more than 200 people from all over North America, who are staying home more to live out the reality of 'loving your neighbour.'  One of them was author Michael Frost who said, "I believe Christians should be the most rooted people in their community; their loyalty and devotion to a particular geographical area and everyone who lives there should be legendary."  When you encounter 200 people who are scattered in different neighbourhoods doing just that, it makes the vision of our Lord's prayer, "thy Kingdom come" very real.

What if Central Alberta had 200 people from 200 neighbourhoods doing the same?  Email if you want to know more: rickabma@gmail.com ...or if you want to get going on one of the following:
- start with a small block party (see your city/town website for more info).
- join "Axiom" training May 9-10 in Red Deer: http://www.forgecanada.ca/our-method/axiom/
- read this new book, "The New Parish: How Neighborhood Churches are transforming mission, discipleship and community" (Paul Sparks, Tim Soerens, Dwight Friesen, 2014).
-join other's and learn from their neighbourhoods through "Neighbourhood Life."
