Today was our monthly gathering (first Tue of each month) for our staff team. Each month we gather together to share stories of life-change, build community with our team, pray together, and here a leadership talk from Pat to keep vision from leaking. Today's highlights:
Life-Change Stories
- A couple that stumbled in a few of months ago during services was helped by our Guest Services team, helped connect their 4 children, and a couple of weeks ago attended CWM, embraced Christ and will be baptized soon.
- A high school senior contacted David a couple weeks ago sharing how she desired to connect to small group and biblical community after watching another high school student be baptized while their small group was surrounding them.
- A couple in financial trouble reached out and sought financial counseling and now is has their marriage and finances on the right track. As one of our staff shared, "they are here on Sundays with a big smile on their face because they have a plan to get out of debt and they are communicating in their marriage."
- Some of our middle school and high school students who are going through a leadership trac with our student ministry staff is taking leadership and ownership in a project to gather donated food for our food bank.
- An 8th grade student who feels called to ministry communicated during our middle school environment this past Sunday and hit a home run.
Pat's Leadership Challenge
- Passage: Luke 1:46-52
- Mary was a young teenage girl who with great courage and boldness committed to the calling God placed on her life, embraced the hardship that was before her, and was mindful of God's faithfulness in her life
- the Point = Have Courage
- Patism = "If we are stressed at Christmas, then we have a wrong view of Christmas."
Wow. It's Quiet Here...
