The Feast of Sharing
Last night, Mark, Steven, Rachael and I went to the Civic Center for Abilene's first annual Feast of Sharing. It is a free meal for anyone in Abilene who wants it. It could pass as the new once-a-year “community well.” We saw an interesting slice of all of Abilene eating around the tables and serving the people at the tables. The only thing remotely close to this sampling of people happens at Wal-Mart or maybe in a waiting room at the hospital. Even still, those people tend to be on the move.
This raises the question: Where is the community “well” (in Abilene, TX)?

Great question Katrina! I'm planning on asking that question more and more as we move more into simple church structures. The move really isn't into a "simple church strucure" it is moving into a missional structure, with a more simple method of church emerging from our missional lifestyles.
Church should always be secondary to the Kingdom of God. The church is simply a reporter to what God is doing in the world. I want to be a part of what God is doing in the world, so I look for the places he brings people together (community wells). After that, I pray that God bring these people together under him, and he'll usually do that by establishing a faith community in the midst of that well. Exciting that you want to do the same thing!
