: : Don't forget that "The Gathering" starts at 3:30 on Sundays! We'll have our first service on Sunday, March 3. Artists are encouraged to bring their work. Everyone is encouraged to invite people who don't feel comfortable with "traditional" church.
: I don't know if anyone realized that this name is already being used by at least two other churches that I can think of, are we sure we want to call it that?
Actually the name is tentative as we haven't voted on a name yet. Anyone with a name they like is asked to send it to me ASAP, and I will present them Sunday. But even if the Gathering is chosen to be used, I really don't mind. When passers-by see our signs, they will know definitively that we are not associated with the other groups you mention. We are going to have large paintings on wood done by our members that will be used for signs (with some readable lettering added above and below on separate strips) and they will be changed (rotated) every couple of weeks. Also, whatever the name ends up being, we want to have a brief explanation at the bottom of it that kind of adds a kind of flavor to it without defining it. For instance, "The Art in Life" or "The Art in God" or "The Art of Living", etc. etc. You get the drift I think. This suffix is also yet to be determined based on what is suggested by the members.
