Name:
Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

EASTER ADVENTURE


Not that I need to put more pressure on myself, but this Easter I've decided to do that. Every year since I started pastoring, I've preached on some aspect of the resurrection or had someone else do it, but this year we're going for something - in the words of Monty Python - completely different!

Anticipating that there will be a crowd there on Sunday, the target is to get as many of them back the following weeks as possible. As part of that plan, we'll be starting our series on parenting - You Must Be Kidding - and the challenge for me is to make sure that Sunday goes well enough that a whole bunch of people return for part two.

I hate business as usual. I think I'm a bit ADD. I get bored quickly. So there has to be a new challenge and that's it for 2006 - getting the folks back again. Never mind counting heads on Easter Sunday, it's April 23rd that really matters to me now.
