WANTED:

Missionaries, church planters, small group leaders, children's workers, greeters, musicians, A/V techie types, people who love people, youth counselors, individuals with mad web skilz, photographers, news writers, newsreaders, vocalists, poets, soldiers, soccer moms...even University of Kentucky basketball fans.

Seriously. That's how big The Kingdom is.

I haven't written about it much in this space. OK, I haven't written about it at all.

"The church formerly known as New Life Community Church" is planting a church. We're declaring a "do-over". A mulligan. We're starting over; we're starting anew; we're closing down and reopening in the fall. We're experiencing metamorphosis on a grand scale.

Do the northern suburbs of Cincinnati need missionaries? We think so. Does the Kingdom crave a poetic touch? Clearly. Can you go on a missions trip while keeping your day job? We think so. I think Jesus commanded it with that pesky "love your neighbor as yourself" stuff...

And we need people. Specifically, we need you.

Now I know that of the three people actually reading this two of you are in Indiana. So maybe we don't need you specifically. But if you happen to know people in or near the Cincinnati area who might be looking for a church to plug into...send them our way. Know anyone involved with a church but looking for something more: something new, a sense of calling, a desperate need for passion, a drive for significance, upside to the nth degree? Send them my way.

And I may be crazy, but somewhere out there is someone looking for this kind of community, looking for this opportunity. Someone, somewhere, is willing to move here, make friends and dive in.

The pay sucks and the hours are awful. But the friendships are deep and it's Kingdom work and it rocks. Consider yourself invited. Pass it along.
