what's with the name?

After much agony and brainstorming (more so agony than effective brainstorming) we have decided upon the name QUARRY for this emerging ministry. Although slash and night danga came in close seconds?!?! We wanted to start owning a name other than 20/30 something ministry because it's not about a defined age group, or just a youth group for older people...

QUARRY came about when we kept talking about the desire to be searching... seeking...
Here's the definitions of quarry...

quar·ry
An open excavation or pit from which stone is obtained by digging, cutting, or blasting.
A rich or productive source.

To extract by long, careful searching

Together we want to experience, search, and dig for the richness God offers us.

And we think it could sound cool.
And it's not lame.

also... quarry can mean:
a)A hunted animal; prey.
b)Hunted animals considered as a group; game.
i assume that's not what we're going for... just don't wear any fur to the next meeting? ;)

i'm disappointed that 'chinamite' was swept under the carpet so quickly...
