it's not about weekends?

Geoff pointed me to the article We Aren't About Weekends in Christianity Today. It's an interview with Bob Roberts, pastor of NorthWood Church in Keller, Texas. In the article he speaks of "glocalization" to describe "today's seamless integration between the local and global, a comprehensive connectedness produced by travel, business, and communications."

Northwood has planted 89 churches in 15 years - amazing!

"We aren't about weekends," Bob says. "We aren't just trying to get people into church. It's 'kingdom in, kingdom out.'" This means each church emphasizes weekday ministry in local neighborhoods as well as ongoing ministry with a particular nation overseas.
Visit Bob's website and blog.

To understand the heart of Bob's church might I recommend their church blog www.mynorthwood.org (northwoodchurch.org is their visitor portal).
