It's been too long since I last said a few words about Country Rock Church (aka "the church at The Pub"). I unfortunately have not gone in quite awhile. Just too much going on and an incredible compulsion to just hang close to my family on Sunday nights. A few observations though:

1) No connection to CRC but a Catholic Church is now doing something similar in Dayton.
2) From my perspective, they've done a great job of keeping things fresh and lively at CRC.
3) One CRC attendee (previously unchurched) listed CRC as her home church when she was admitted to the hospital a few weeks ago, leading to some great relationships, sharing, and Kingdom building.
4) Back when I was going, it was great watching certain folks from our main church work the crowd and mingle at CRC. I want to be able to do that.

and one more thing ...

the Letters to the Editor of the local paper continue. Some positive and encouraging ones and a few not so positive and encouraging. I have been quite proud of myself, though, as I have stayed out of the fracas.

there was a letter in today's paper from someone who has written previously but, this time, if I understand her correctly, she is implying that (in her words) God is going to "lay the smack down" on those who have started CRC. At least I think that is what she was saying.

In any event, I am not quite sure what that means but this is all I could think of when I read that:
