PLANNING AHEAD

Here we are just getting ready for our first major series of the new year, Win 4 Life and last night Ron Dylnicki sent me a draft of the main graphic for the next series - Caffeinated Christianity. Then today I have ordered some material that will link in with the following series that will take us up to Easter and a family oriented four weeks on raising children called You Must Be Kidding.

All this is relatively new to me - and I love it! In the good old days of same old same old, I often didn't know from one Sunday to the next what I would be preaching the following week. Nowadays there is so much that goes into preparation that we need to know where we are going months in advance.

Now I can hear a few purists asking, How does that give room to the Holy spirit to guide you? The answer is simple - the Holy Spirit can speak just as clearly three months before the event as he can three days before it!

I love planning ahead. I don't know which series I'm most pumped about. This will be a good winter/spring.
