Not driving to Alpharetta. I don't even drive to RS anymore. SB for us, baby! Louie has nothing on Eldridge anyway.ManUtd17https://www.blogger.com/profile/03561020069684491583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183392445193793743.post-86865454289815545052008-08-19T22:32:00.000-04:002008-08-19T22:32:00.000-04:00They can rent Riverstone on Sunday nights if they ...They can rent Riverstone on Sunday nights if they want.bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250500504879031464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183392445193793743.post-23257734027119257422008-08-19T18:59:00.000-04:002008-08-19T18:59:00.000-04:00I agree with both of you RH and BP.

That's a great point about FUMC and WF/RS, and we truly are better off going through those growing pains. I think the loss of regular church goers will be enormous initially. Because honestly, who is NOT going to want to go to a church that has Louie giving the message and CT, MR or CN leading worship?! I have to believe and have faith that this move will help usher in an awakening and revival to our city. We'll see. Would you be tempted to check it out?Boggsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877087030692345164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183392445193793743.post-7783326094699458042008-08-19T16:33:00.000-04:002008-08-19T16:33:00.000-04:00I don't know Louie at all.

I have a hard time thinking that all of these players would make this kind of move for the sake of ego. So I remain hopeful of the motives. <BR/><BR/>The impact will be large in the beginning. NP and BC will lose people -- no doubt. But FUMC lost a lot of people too when WF (now RS) first started. Then as time passed, people left WF for other places that fit better or that they felt called to or that didn't have a drum kit on the stage or whatever. Hopefully, this is a point of overall increase in the Body.ManUtd17https://www.blogger.com/profile/03561020069684491583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8183392445193793743.post-13379458874313938792008-08-19T08:14:00.000-04:002008-08-19T08:14:00.000-04:00first of all, were you blogging at 3am?ok, moving ...first of all, were you blogging at 3am?<BR/>ok, moving on...<BR/><BR/>i have mixed emotions as well. it's kindof like a starbucks opening near a mom and pop coffeehouse. as good as the mom and pop is, starbucks is a wealthy company and they can afford to do things perfectly. so the poor mom and pop store, who might actually have the better coffee, lose their peeps to a megachain b/c it's pretty and put together well.<BR/><BR/>hopefully they'll have unique vision and actually reach out to the least of these instead of the crowd i think they'll be going for....steve and randel hambrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16178361090629388265noreply@blogger.com
