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.

TOGETHER

Having spun off Easter with considerably increased momentum, I really felt last Sunday was a special day as I mentioned a few posts below this one. But I am the first to acknowledge that all that God is enabling us to achieve is not due to me, it's because of the amazing team of people who make things happen.

So since we'd had such a great service, I decided to handwrite notes to everyone who leads an area of ministry on a Sunday and let them know I appreciate all they do and am glad they're part of the team.

So I started writing ... and kept on writing ... and kept on writing.

In the end I mailed seventeen cards.

I could hardly believe it. These are not all our volunteers, these are the folks who lead volunteer teams - imagine how many individuals they must represent.

How many people does it take to pull off a Sunday? I really don't know but it must be one heck of a lot, spearheaded by these great ministry leaders.

They're the secret behind our growing church.
