Last Sunday morning I preached for 30-40 minutes, casting a vision and laying out a strategy for accomplishing our congregational mission. Tomorrow we begin our fall sermon series.
Today, I'm stoked and here's why:
1. In the past two weeks, it has felt like we've left our church moorings and set sail. There is a tangible buzz happening across the congregation.
2. We've developed the sermon series in house. Everything from the weekly titles to the life group curriculum has been made in Hanover. Every creative idea (including our take it home credit cards pictured above) has come from the minds of our staff and our congregation.
3. This may sound selfish but it contributes to my excitement: I'm getting a lot of opportunities to preach, lead and cast vision. In the absence of a lead pastor, I'm getting to handle lead pastorish affairs and I'm lovin' it.
Only one question remains: are we sailing an ocean liner or a yellow submarine?

A Submarine...possibly equiped with a few sets of scuba gear for those who aren't quite sure about the destination, BUT I checked the sonar picture and although there may be a few coral and reefs up ahead once through them the depth and amazing scenery is as wonderful as it can be!!!!
God Bless Ya!
I love the fact that this all come from our church. so awesome.
If there is a sure way to have a great community, its to involve as many people in things as possible. Seems to be working so far.
Hey Jason,
Our group is enjoying the study questions. One of our favs from tonight's was the question about whether you would baptize a friend or not...generated some great discussion. Thanks for all the work you did on this study! It is definitely a blessing.
