INTO '08

There's a lot to be said for getting back into routine, however much I enjoyed the interlude of priceless time with our family over Christmas.

So this was it. January 2nd. On with business!

We had a good pastoral team meeting this morning. They really are one of the highlights of my week because God has brought such a good team together. There's a great blend of personalities, each with their individual strengths and between us an unbelievable total of years of experience in pastoral ministry.

We talk a lot, laugh too, agree, disagree and above all else are in our fifth year as a team of spearheading what God is doing through Church At The Movies.

We spent a lot of time talking about the year ahead of us - even had some preliminary discussion about arrangements for Christmas 2008 - and when we parted at lunch time, I was very happy about what we had accomplished.

I'll be talking a bit about the year that's gone and the year before us on Sunday morning.

Good days ahead!
