As you may know, cross-pollination is when pollen is transfered from the flower of one plant to another.  It’s an exchange of knowledge and ideas resulting in cross-fertilization.  Both entities enhance the other resulting in progress that may not have occurred if the one entity existed by itself.  Our hope is that both services would help advance each other resulting in overall growth that we may not have experienced with just having one service option.  Some of you that have been a part of a thriving church with multiple services can probably attest to this.  A person feels more at ease volunteering since they can serve at one gathering and attend another.  An individual is so excited about what they’ve learned at one service that they get on the phone and urges someone else to catch the second one.  We have a few individuals that Twitter and post Facebook updates about what they experience on Sunday morning.  Now, a person who reads a tweet or Facebook update at least has the option of taking advantage of the same, exact experience.  This only happens if there’s momentum and people are actually excited about what’s happening.  If there’s no momentum, you’ll just have two lifeless entities.  But if you have one thriving plant, planting another one may not be such a bad idea.
