The Present Future, Reggie McNeal writes "a missionary church culture will need to begin keeping score on things different from what we measure now. These may include how many ministry initiatives we are establishing in the streets, how many volunteers we are releasing into local and global mission projects aimed at community transformation, how many congregations are starting to reach different populations, how many church activities target people who aren't here yet . . ." (67). We launched our Wednesday Night service two nights ago and it was an anxious and exciting evening. Here are some of our inital scorecard results:
- 190- $10 HyVee cards given out to Hillcrest's neighbors
- 100- volunteers that went out into the Sioux Falls community on Wednesday Night
- 80- teacher kits packed and delivered for Cleveland's teachers
- 60- meals served at the St Francis House
- 25- infants and toddlers who were being cared for while their parents were serving
- 7- meals and 7 desserts cooked at Hillcrest's kitchen
- 1- broken foot as one of our volunteers fell of a ladder while painting
These are just some of the results from what was a fun first service.
