Resuming on-campus worship on Sunday morning was just the first step in our plan to slowly transition back to a normal schedule. Sunday will mark our fourth week of on-campus worship services. The last three weeks have gone very smoothly and we anticipate that to continue to be the case as we transition into the next phase of our reopening plan. I strongly believe one of the key reasons for that is part of our plan from the beginning included communication. There are four key groups we knew we needed to have clear communication with.
If there is someone who wants to resume on-campus worship services more than our team, I donโt know him! Seriously, since our church last met on March 15th for worship, we have been closely following the guidance of our local, state, and national leaders working hard to keep the members of our congregation safe.
Those are fun discussions, but there was a different question that inspired this post. That question: why do I blog? Itโs a good question and one I have actually given a considerable bit of thought to!
Youโre probably hearing a lot of people saying something similar to what I am hearing: where did this year go? As the years pass by, they do seem to do so more quickly than I remember as a child or even as a young adult. With the year coming to a close in a few short weeks, I have been reflecting on all God has allowed me to be a part of and the ways in which He has blessed me and my family. Believe me, itโs a lot!
The Georgia Baptist Convention was earlier this week and as I expected it flew by. Any discussion of this yearโs meeting that neglects to praise the folks at New Hope Baptist Church for the amazing job they did hosting us this year is simply incomplete. They are blessed with great facilities and amazing volunteers that represented their church and the Lord Jesus Christ so well as they served Georgia Baptists. Thank you!
I hear it all the time: โIโm not a numbers person!โ Sometimes someone will say something like, โI sure am glad youโre the numbers guy and not me.โ The truth is I am a numbers guy and I love me a spreadsheet where I can track a lot of different, complex things and put together a simple report that helps us see whatโs happening in our ministry. To do that, I track a lot of different metrics.
If you are looking for practical training for just about any ministry in your church, you’ll find it at GO Georgia! It is a total church leadership equipping event that helps in more way than you might think.
