FINALLY got the HVAC fixed so we had heat in the lobby!!
Heat was important today with wind chills below zero.
The cold temperature and the holiday weekend did affect our attendance. Down a bit today but still healthy.
Offering was WAY down - rats.
I really enjoyed teaching Class 101. I love that class because I get to share our vision and what makes Meadow tick.
I love walking into the auditorium before the service and seeing and hearing all the buzz going on.
Love seeing people connecting and building community.
Had several new families again today. Heard about Meadow via newspaper, Facebook, and invite from friend at work!
After preaching and then teaching Class 101...I am absolutely WHIPPED!!
Oh...and I'm FREEZING
Next Class 101 is in two weeks - Feb. 3rd. If you haven't taken this class - I highly encourage you to come!
One of my favorite things to do on Sunday mornings is to stand in the hallway and just greet and talk to people as they come in. I LOVE Meadowites!
Between the Leadership Team, the Phase 2 Remodel Team, the Capital Campaign Team, the staff, and our volunteers - I am convinced more than ever that Meadow is in the greatest leadership hands!
Growth Groups are filling up. I anticipate this wave of Growth Groups will be PACKED with spiritual growth and community building.
John Pennucci's six-month internship is over and he has agreed to stay on staff! THAT is AWESOME!
Starting new teaching series next Sunday - "Money Mayhem"
Check out the video trailer - one of our most creative trailers. Watch it here.
We'll tackle what the Bible says about spending, saving, budgeting, giving - and depending on God to meet all our needs.
Getting one's money under control and getting out of debt is always a top goal for the year. We will talk about getting out of death in this series too.
Hadn't had a diet pepsi in over a week. Had one this past week and it tasted awful. Just sayin.
I REALLY loved teaching Class 101 today and had a GREAT group of Meadowites taking the class!
We might be getting a pop machine to put in the lobby. Based on my previous comment about diet pepsi...I won't be using it but I hear if we put Mtn Dew in it, it could be the most popular gathering spot at church!
I LOVE getting the emails and messages from people explaining how God is using Meadow to guide them into a refreshing relationship with Jesus!
If you have a story - any story of how God is working in your life - I want to hear it! Email or message me!
Some MAJOR decisions will be made these next few weeks regarding the path we take in our Phase 2 remodeling. We would really appreciate your prayers for wisdom and insight!
Well...the game is about to start and I have some other communications to get out.
Later.
