Weekly Rundown (8.3.09)

• Wrapped our 2-part prayer series today. I cannot believe how much I have underestimated the power, purpose, and privilege of prayer!!
  
  
  
  • Today's BIG idea: Prayer is how we exercise our God-given authority and God-allowed influence to call in God's power to accomplish God's purposes.
  
  
  
  


• Great night of worship tonight in Calhoun! Awesome job to Stephen and the band!! God was in the house!!


• Great meeting out in Chatsworth this past week! Good food, good fellowship, good vibe ...
  
  
  
  • We looked at another building ... ??? Keep praying for open doors and God's direction ... we do need it!!
  
  
  
  


• Don't forget to vote for next Sunday's opening song!!


• First Wednesday returns this week ... I'm pumped!!
  
  
  
  • We're encouraging all of our volunteers to come out for encouragement and prayer as we ramp up for another big ministry season!!
  
  
  
  


• Can't believe that some of our area schools start back this week ... that means football is right around the corner and that makes me happy :)


• We have our monthly all-staff meeting this Tuesday. Always great to hang-out with our team.


• So I decided to return to the world of Twitter tonight. You can follow me by going to here.


• The finale for So You Think You Can Dance is this week!! Beth & I love watching this show together ... the talent and creativity are amazing!




• Got our dogs shaved this week. Bear looks pretty ridiculous.


• Long ago we prayed for God to send our church people who were hurting, broken, and in need of Jesus. He has certainly answered that prayer. The pain people are experiencing is tough to see but we take hope in knowing that God's grace is sufficient!!


• Here's how you can pray for me this week:
  
  
  
  • Leadership wisdom from God.
  
  
  • Message for 1st Wednesday.
  
  
  • Key meetings with staff.
  
  
  • To have an "open" heart before God.
  
  
  • For our adoption referral to happen quickly ... but in God's timing :)
