Weekly Rundown (6.1.08)

This morning I was thinking how much I LOVE this church!! Here's the rundown for this week:

• They started demolishing 3 buildings where we will eventually build our Ministry Center (children, small groups, "green" room, etc.)  I wish I could have operated that bull-dozer type thing ... it was so cool to watch!!


• Finished reading Jeremiah this week ... I'll blog more later ...  but WOW!!


• Great kick-off to FUEL!


• We're starting to plan how we launch and open Stage 123 this Fall.  Exciting stuff!!  It's pretty neat to think that we will suddenly have an additional 400-500 seats available at optimal service times.  Now, we need to pray (and invite our friends) so God can put a soul in those seats!!


• We're going to do something a little different in Calhoun next week for part 2 of Fuel ... Carll and I are excited!


• So far I haven't been too impressed with the summer "blockbusters" (and Beth & I love movies!).  Indiana Jones and aliens ... ??? What were they thinking??


• Even though we are officially into summer now since school is out, I don't think God takes vacations.  I think He still wants people saved, taught His truths, and to experience the life He alone offers.  That's why we can't let up ... too much is at stake!!!


• The survey results are pretty neat so far (check out this blog for details).  I'll post the results later this week.


• We are close to having a lease on one of the coolest office spaces ever in Calhoun!!  Right downtown, big, multiple uses, endless opportunities ... I'm so excited about God's work there!!


• We are about to take some major steps to improve our video graphics/preaching/broadcasting ... God has given us amazing techonology to tell His story and we plan on leveraging it for His glory!!


• I'm planning a prayer retreat for myself real soon.  It's about a year since I took one and I think I need some time with just me & God.  I always come back with a lot more clarity, passion, and vision.


• Had my first fish in months die this week ... not sure what happened but the other fish in the tank looked suspicious.
