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.

TWO LUNCHES

I suggested to a few of our guys today that they tell their friends they like our church because after service was over, the pastor took them all out to a bar.

I did!

We invited all our set-up and breakdown teams to come eat with us at Bruno's in Ronkonkoma. But let me clarify that we used a function room in the back and did not hang out where the regulars were downing their alcohol of choice and watching the football.

I just wanted to thank them for their superb work in making the transition happen and for us to take a few minutes to run over the routine we've established to see if we could fine tune it at all.

Good time. Great people - and a whole lot of them.

Good food too, though I didn't eat much because when I left there I was off to another lunch. This was a farewell get together for a group of WW staff honoring the departing leader that I will be replacing on Saturdays.

So what do a group of WW staff eat for lunch? - My lips are sealed!
