Saturday's all-church Ignite Summit was a really fun day! Feedback I gathered from people was that it was an energizing, encouraging day--that is what we were hoping for.
One quote that Pastor Mark threw out at the end of the day that really stuck in my head:
We are missionaries to the tribal groups of urban America.
That's a powerful and clear statement about who the church is, particularly to us here in the city of Chicago right now in this generation. Every follower of Jesus is called to reach into a tribal group of urban Chicago and introduce that tribal group to Jesus. The church as an urban missionary force--right on!
