New Ploy - Marketing "Community"

We just finished a sermon series on "Community" as we prepare to kick off our Missional Communities at New City Church. We have had a good number of people sign up for one of our seven MCs, but we don't have 100% - so I am working on some new ideas to help us reach 100%...
1) We could excommunicate everyone NOT in an MC - or kill them, like in the Spanish Inquisition. (I think that is extreme - and not a GOOD extreme)

2) We could offer a Money Back Guarantee (someone would probably catch on that we don't charge for an MC, and we don't require giving to the church either)

3) We could Market Better - Yeah! That might do it.
HMMMMM - We just need a marketing slogan...

How about this one (because I LOVE stupid church signs) -

COMM NITY - Its Just Not The Same Without U

Thats good stuff isn't it?
Or Maybe this one -

Without U its just Comm Nity - and what the heck is that?

I just wish we had a church sign!
