Test Launch
I am blogging right now from "The Well". People are still hanging out, talking, chilling. We had an awesome test launch! The Well is our Sunday night video venue service. It's relaxed. There is free coffee, and espresso. The sermon is a video of that Sunday morning's talk. I am so excited for the potential of this venue!

Quote
Phil Cooke, owner of Cooke Pictures, as quoted on his blog (June 9, 2009)
“I’m shocked at the number of people that just keep doing the same thing year after year as if the direction of the ministry, audience numbers, response, income – whatever, will magically change. But getting from point A to point B doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through a well thought out plan.
“And by the way – when it comes to churches - changing graphics, cool music, lighting effects, or dumping the choir robes isn’t a strategy. That’s just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. You need a fundamental re-think of what story your church or ministry is trying to tell, what that means to your audience, how to connect with that audience, and why it’s absolutely urgent they respond right now.”

Chase the Lion
Next month we are starting a new small group study called "Chase The Lion"
If you have never read the book "In a pit with a lion on a snowy day" I would encourage you to get it!
We will take about six weeks and go through the study with our small groups.
If you haven't been to small groups yet, this would be the time. We have really been enjoying doing life together with our groups. Last night we did a combined small group and grilled out at Roy's house. What an amazing time we had!

Washington D.C.
This weekend I went down to Washington D.C. to check out http://theaterchurch.com/ .
It was amazing!
We learned so much just being down their and experiencing it first hand. They are doing so much of what we will be doing in the future. Coffee shops, video venues, multiple campuses.
It's awesome!
They are strategically located in the market places! Something I find Jesus always did.
We are currently looking into some areas where we are going to launch some multi-sites.
Being down there and seeing it done was truly inspiring!

Missed
Last week we lost one of the most beautiful person I have ever met in my lifetime. My aunt was an amazing person to me and also to our church. Never was it difficult to be around her as she was always smiling. She served our church faithfully for years in various ministries, but was the most dedicated to our food ministry. Her tireless work, and concern for the needy, fed thousands of hungry mouths. She demonstrated a servants heart in whatever she did. Words can't explain the hole she has left in our hearts............we miss her deeply.
