Catalyst so far...

So far, so AWESOME!
Very worth my time to come down to Granger, experience this church, and listen to these speakers.
Here are some quotes of things they're talking about which have stuck out for me...

"Minor improvements to things that are broke are usually still broken."
~ Andy

"Make Sunday better on Sunday" (meaning, don't wait until Monday to evaluate- if something can be improved immediately, then improve it! But of course, evaluate the worship service in detail on Monday!)
~ Andy

"Chaos comes with momentum, and it must be managed. But don't manage away the momentum."
~ Andy

"The helpless church throws up it's hands and says, 'Why won't our people....?' The empowered church asks, 'How can we lead our people to...?"
~ Craig

"Don't hire for today. Hire for tomorrow."
~ Craig

And by far my LEAST favorite quote:
George, to Andy and Craig,
"Can I treat you guys to lunch?"

Craig to George, after a moment of silence...
"Well, we have plans already."


Oh well, you gotta try. At least they know my name now.

Next session about to start, later!

hey george

just mention to Andy that a former staff member of Connexus now goes to your church. He'll love that!

(Connexus is a strategic partner of NP)
