Keys to Successful Missional Communities

1. Provide good toilet paper.
Nothing says "don't come back" like some Big Lots #8 grade sandpaper.

2. If you throw a party to invite new folks, don't wear a wife beater and short shorts.
That is unless it is an "Eddie from National Lampoon Vacation" party.  That is a bad gig.  For chicks, a formal dress with a pearl necklace like a bad episode of the "Young and the Restless" is bad gig also. 

3. Don't serve extremely cheap coffee.  Nothing says, "GO AWAY" like the dark roast from Dollar General. I'd give 30% of my income to churches who serve Dunkin Donuts.

Hospitality is a spiritual gift.  Let's use it, so that hopefully someday a person who actually agrees to set aside personal preference and come to your home to hang out with a bunch of "hypocrites" might actually sit on a comfortable couch and hear about a glorious Savior and His great Gospel.
