mega-church here i come

so tomorrow i'm going to Frontline Arlington, a satellite location of McLean Bible church [local Northern VA mega-church]

now i'm not typically a fan of mega-churches. i wasn't a big fan of the NewBirth church in Atlanta that we visited this summer during GUPY and the first time i visited McLean i was turned off by the massiveness of it's size.

so then why am i going tomorrow? frustration at the churches i've been checking out around alexandria, the need to get some authentic worship that i don't get in most traditional services, and i just feel like i haven't found any sort of ministry here that i can be a part of.

so we'll see how it goes tomorrow. my next post could be a rant against mega-churches or the opposite.

Hi I stumbled across your blog today and realized that we both may *s00n* attend Frontline Arlington. Ive been going there for the past year and I really love it. Its a totally different vibe than the larger service at Tysons. What types of ministry are you looking to connect with? My husband and I would be glad to help connect you!

well i'm only up in alexandria for the semester, but i'd definately be interested in any sort of small groups going on in the area. it definitely seems like a different vibe than tysons.
do they do the newcomers dinner every week? cause i wasn't able to go tonight, but next week i'd be interested in it
