GREAT MORNING

With Charlotte in the DR, as you can see there were only three of us for our pastoral team meeting today.

We had a great time - well I did anyway. I love the creativity that there is among our leaders and how ideas develop as we plan ahead. I love the fact that I never hear the words, We haven't done it that way before.

There's a ton of exciting stuff we have in the pipeline now for the fall and in some ways I can hardly wait for summer to be over. But though June, July and August are traditionally quiet with folks coming and going, we decided to be proactive about summer and incorporate three exciting series -

If I Die Before I Wake

Get Off The Bench

plus a worship series throughout the month of August that is yet to be named (hey we don't plan that far out!)

I don't know which of those I'm looking forward to most, but the sports theme to Get Off The Bench, culminating with a tailgate party in the parking lot, certainly has my attention.

I love doing what I do - it was a great morning and I'm still pumped!
