This morning Melissa and I attended the Official Launch of Renew Communities down in Berea. We are going to be partnering with Renew Communities in the launching of a missional community here in Cleveland Heights.
The big question for the day was "What can you think of that is in need of renewal?"
What places, businesses, relationships, people, schools, situations, etc. are in need of renewal?
Much as Andy did in setting out to launch Renew Communities in Berea, I ran the numbers for our area:
Population
Cleveland Heights: 47,097
S. Euclid: 23,537
Lyndhurst: 15,279
University Heights: 12,571
That's 98,484 people.
60% of them, some 59,090 people, are not receptive to the current model of church.
What does it look like to bring renewal to these people? What does it look like to show the transformational power of the gospel to these nearly sixty-thousand people?
Let's work that out.
Join us this fall for the launch of our MC, and contact me IMMEDIATELY if you'd like to be involved.
