An interesting Read!

I have just been searching google for some blogs and found a reli interesting one - it was about 'Mega Church'. this was quit strange as I had just come of the phone to my brother who is not yet decided if big Church is for him or if he should stay with the smaller option.
having been a member of a smaller church and now a big Church I can understand where he (and alot of other people are coming from) when they say that big church is just not family like, however I have ot say that I feel more at home and with my family at the big church than at smaller church.
I think the reason for me finding myself at home is that there is such a large group of people of my age, interests and occupation. My experience of small church was as a kid with no one my age - my sister who was 7 years younger (she still is 7 years younger but the gap seems to be less now we are both older) and my older sister who was older - no one in between.
I can shear any of my feelings with a number of my close friends - I could trust them with big things.

well all these personal feelings aside - here is a question for you all... are you ready? its a tough one! for some.

is 'mega church' wrong?... what I mean by this is do we find that mega church loses things that small church has to offer, or do we find that it has so much more to offer.

does big church take away from the intimacy of Christianity or does it deepen the worship level and broaden the move of the spirit.

I don't think that God will look at us when we get to heaven and say 'sorry mate but you were part of a big church some I will give you more (or less) than him, he was only part of a small church with 25 people'
no - it doesn't matter if we are part of the big church or the small church but how we are within our environment.
I think though that God would be happier with 10 or 10,000 in one church than with no church at all and 100,000 believers wondering around without being a part of others lives.

well if all this has inspired you to come along to a big church then you can find some details about PCC by following this link. http://www.pcc-uk.org
