* It was week two of our Purple People Leader series and it was great to see so many people get excited while talking about spiritual leadership in the church!
* We talked about an idea called “The Contribution Revolution”. Which basically means that God can do greater things through a church when everyone “steps into their part”. The biggest waste of natural resources isn’t spilling into the gulf right now….it’s everyone in the church that refuses to allow God to use them. The church moves forward when Christians refuse to sit on their God given gifts!
* The closing of the service when we challenged every person to step out and get involved in a TEAM AT OUR CHURCH….the result: 37 new people are “going for it” ….that’s amazing!
* The second most inspiring part of the day for me had to be the live interviews with 3 of our church’s most dynamic leaders:
Corie Squires (Early childhood director)
Nick Spector (Usher captain)
Kirby Dean ( the most real and crazy bass player I have ever met).
I loved interviewing each of these leaders on stage, it was powerful…they are giving away their gifts and God is multiplying them within our church!
* Our band was smoking! They did a version of “Mess of Me” by Switchfoot – it blew the doors off…..
* I realized TIME MANAGEMENT is essential if you want to take on the challenge of multiple services. We ran over our time in both services and the parking team and Thrive Kidz team experienced “momentary chaos”. It will be fixed for next week – I promise!
* I loved hanging out with all of our Team Leads at our monthly Dream Team Lunch – we talked about the most important thing successful teams have and chase after…..”TRUST”
* It was crazy that even though the “summer slump” is upon us – we still are growing….God is up to something!
What’s next? It’s FATHER’S DAY….Can’t wait for you to see what we have planned! It will definitely honor dads in a big way!
Pray for the Celtics -
