Weekly Rundown (9.28.08)

• Beth had sinus surgery this week.  She's doing a lot better ... and I think I've done a decent job taking care of her. Thanks for all the prayers, concern ... and food :)


• Stage 123 continues to show strong numbers each week.  I'm pumped about the opportunity we now have as a church to continue reaching people for Christ!


• Rock Bridge was named one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Churches in America in '08.  (We were #46.)  Pretty amazing what God is doing!!  Because numbers for numbers sake, mean little.  But if the numbers describe life change, salvations, people getting passionate about Christ -- only then the numbers mean something.


• Confession: my prayer life has been weak this week ... and I can tell.  (God always reminds me that apart from Him I can do nothing.)


• Some amazing "God" stories going on in Calhoun this week!! 


• The 'Dawgs simply got whipped Saturday night.  Season is still young and it's the reality of being in the SEC.


• Navy beat Wake Forest!!


• First Wednesday is this week!!


• Spending some time thinking through how we can work to meet some needs in our community: homelessness, recovery efforts, etc. 


• Tomorrow is our monthly all-staff meeting.  We have fun, eat, celebrate, look over the calendar, and I do a leadership & vision chat with everyone.
