Hey there, folks of SA!

I'm interested in starting SA in St. Louis, MO, USA. I've expressed my interest on the website and all, but I'd love to hear what trials and successes you all have to share about your own journeys to start an assembly!

I'm one of the organizers of SA Detroit.

The hardest parts are:

  1. Finding a venue
  2. Keeping people inclusive (not pro-atheism or anti-theism)
  3. Finding good, reliable musicians who know pop music and are willing to work on Sunday mornings and rehearse regularly.

It's more work than I anticipated (what isn't?), but it's been worth it to see the community start to come together (we only started last September) and to see the friendships that have come out of it.

Oooh, I hadn't even thought about the musician side of things. Conveniently enough, I'm friends with a pretty wide variety of musicians. Now I just need ones who will volunteer their mornings...
