Weekly Rundown (10.11.09)

• Long holiday weekend for many in our area and us Georgia fans sure did need it!!


• Our students enjoyed a great "Survivor"-style Fall Retreat over in north Alabama.
  
  
  
  • I'm always amazed at the level of commitment of our volunteers ... you amaze me!!
  
  
  
  


• I've had several meetings and lunches lately with people who God has called to plant new churches.  I get excited thinking about how God is going to use these guys for His glory!
  
  
  
  • Met with someone who is planting a church in Gainesville, Florida ... that's Gator country ... I know they need Jesus but at least they have Tebow :)
  
  
  
  


• This past week's First Wednesday was absolutely amazing!!  Both campuses were blessed with God's presence.  Below is a quote from a former addict who is now addicted to Jesus:
  
  
  
  • Last night was so great I wondered if it was legal.
  
  
  • I want to thank the amazing job Greg, Stephen, and Jeremy do leading our worship services, bands, praise teams, and choirs.  I appreciate your talent a lot but appreciate your love for Jesus and desire to help people worship Him even more!!
  
  
  • You can check out the church's "Worship Blog" here.
  
  
  
  


• To the UGA faithful ... the Tennessee game is a blessing in disguise.  The coaches and school leadership can no longer ignore the fact that there is a problem with the football program.  The secret is out ... the Vols exposed the 'Dawgs as a very sub-par football team.  The question is how will the players and most especially, Coach Richt respond? (The leadership juices in me are flowing ... I'm very curious to watch and learn from how this gets handled.)


• Church update:
  
  
  
  • Still looking for building possibilities in Calhoun.
  
  
  • Still praying for peace and confirmation about location for Rock Bridge Chatsworth.
  
  
  • New buildings at Dalton campus are close to getting cleared for occupancy.
  
  
  • Lots of work remains to be done on the "North-South" lobby next to the Wink that will connect the campus from Crawford St. to Gordon St.
  
  
  • Fall Festival is coming soon for BOTH campuses ... BRING CANDY to church!!
  
  
  
  


• Have a great week!!
