Napkins, shot glasses and church planting
I found an interesting news story on a new church plant that is trying a unique way to connect with the community. It reminded me of the late 80's when the very conservative church where I was leading the singles ministry decided (after much wrangling among the elders) that running a divorce recovery ministry did not actually encourage people to get divorced. Fresh from a victory for real ministry, I proposed that cocktail napkins with information about our divorce recovery ministry be printed and given free to local singles bars. That was, after all, our "competition" for newly single adults. This story reminded me of that effort.
Now for the question: Are there Biblical guidelines for something like this? If so, what are they and how do they apply? Is there a difference between the cocktail napkin idea and the shot glass approach?
I'm interested in hearing your reasoning. And if you're still interested, here's another take on the same idea.
