A couple thoughts on the future of our "church"

We are not “church” anymore, Mother made that clear months ago. Family Federation is not a religion, either.

So, we must not act like one. Since Sunday service is the main signpost of a church, my idea is to scrap Sunday services across the board.

Benefit: we don’t compete with other churches for that same audience. They can come to our weekly event now, because it’s not on Sunday and we are not a different church they can’t join.

Have Family night instead. Pick one night. Invite all friends of other churches, all non-members, etc.

Make it fun and non-churchy. Food fellowship games music activities whatever. It’s an orientation for first timers, it’s a re-bonding for members, it’s relaxed, its activity and fun driven. there’s food, we’re good at that, potluck it, and before it all read 15 minutes of Hoon Dok Hae and have some roundtable discussion on that if appropriate. Words on family, true love, building the ideal. Many words in the new CSG especially are completely palatable by the broader society. It’s our central message but it’s not like a religion or church. People get it simply. Father encouraged hobby activities, get folks to volunteer how they want. The second gen here just did a “Taco Night” and made tacos together, for example. Inviting school buddies.

The Sunday service is going the way of the cross. (We took those down, remember) But before you wait for some command from HQ to do this, just do it. There’s no Sunday service requirement in our charter. And for those who still want it, let them meet on Sunday, if they have such desire. You can make a new meeting day of the week and go for it, like we are here in Anchorage.

Start it small. See if it has its own legs to stand on. Get another couple families to initiate it with together. Trinity is all you need.

And those are my thoughts on the future of our Family.
