There are days when everything just seems to fall into place. When everything works. People get along. Projects are completed. I can see the mission being accomplished. Today was one of those days.
We had a great staff meeting this afternoon. There was a camaraderie to the place. The staff seemed to sense the same thing I did. While we ate lunch together, people took turns talking about what is going on. (Check out the agenda here.) And there is SO MUCH going on right now. Jeanette told us that there are 8 new families checking out the Family Ministry Department since last week's Harvest Party. Lori was excited as she told us her big plans for Rick Muchow coming to our church on November 22nd and 23rd. Deering told us his plans for the small groups' leaders meeting. Ron told us about the incredible goal of providing 600 children in Richland County with their Christmas presents this year! Jonathan told us all about the plans for the website and for the new photo directory. Deb told us that she took 140 pictures for the new directory last weekend. Tim gave out prizes for best costumes at the Harvest Party. It was just so incredibly great to be a part of this staff, to be on this team. We are HAVING FUN while SERVING GOD! Does it get any better than that?
