Annual Meeting is over, this week is Misisons Sunday and aftet that all that's left on the Sunday church calendar is Christmas.
So that's what's on my mind. This years Christmas Eve theme is off a song called, "God So Loved the World." It has media, readings, acoustic christmas songs, message in an intimate, worshipful setting. Jonathan and Susie are planning the whole evening.
We start rehearsals this week.
I'm also in full planning for our Winter Artists Retreat, "The Heart of the Artist" in Big Bear, Feb. 2005.
We're also in preplanning mode for our equipping worship ministry called "Reimagine." The next 5 week term is in March 2005.
Christmas-Artists Retreat-Equipping Bands-Easter-Small Groups-Summer. That's the flow of the first half of the year in 2005.
Summmer Concerts-Missions Trips-Fall Kick-Off-Equipping Bands-Annual Meeting-Christmas. There's the second half of 2005.
In the middle there's life, reality, trust, waiting on the Holy Spirit, following God. That's just the flow, the river is Jesus, the Church is the means, the World is our Mission.
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty. All Glory be to His Name!
