"Come, and you will see" (cf. John 1:39)
I absolutely love the section about gathering information about how new parishioners have found their way to us! I keep wondering how we could find a creative way to do this? I know that we have many new families that have joined us within the past year or so and perhaps they would like to tell their story. I think it would inspire new parishioners to talk about how their faith works for them (Page 75) and create/foster new friendships/relationships, give parishioners a chance to share their personal stories, etc. We have such an established sense of community, this could be a way for everyone to bond with new parishioners at the start so they feel it right away. Would the newsletter be the appropriate forum to do this? How about a 'new family' exhibit in the hallway? Please share your thoughts!

"enhance the experience"
Ok, I will kick things off!
I am in the first third of the book and was curious what others were thinking. So I googled 'Rebuilt' and read the many reviews of this book on Amazon.com. I found that reading others' reviews was very helpful in focusing my thoughts. It would be great if we shared that way here in this blog. It can bring your thoughts to new heights and add insights to what you are thinking about but cannot verbalize at the present moment.
It also can lead you to discover new things - I was not aware but if you go to the Church of the Nativity webpage you can listen to podcasts along with the book.
What a great way to "enhance the experience"...I guess we shouldn't be surprised!

Many of our parishioners have been reading “Rebuilt” by Rev. Michael White and Mr. Tom Corcoran about their efforts to bring their parish back to life.
