Weekly Rundown (8.30.09)

• Monday through Friday at a church is somewhat out of sight to the majority of people but those days are the critical link in the chain between Sundays.  Not only are services planned, but people are cared for, volunteers and equipped and encouraged, prayers are offered, ideas are generated, administrative functions are carried out, and leadership is given to the church's mission and vision.  I just want to THANK OUR STAFF for the fantastic efforts and leadership in this critical Monday-Friday time frame!!
