I was at the C3 Conference at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX with the Ed Staff at Henderson Hills. It was great spending time with my staff. I’m truly blessed to get to serve and do life together with these people.
Here are some of my key ’Take-Aways’ from the C3 Conference:

I’ve been working with the Spiritual Growth Team over the last 2 months to define what our goals should be for the next 5 years. This has been fun and also a difficult process. Especially when you think about all the age groups represented: Birth - Sr. Adult.
One thing that all of us, in one [...]
The last month has really been crazy. Here’s just a short list of what has been happening in my life:
Josh, my oldest son, proposed to his girlfriend. He did it like no one I know. We had a surprise party for them at the end of the evening. To see photos of the party go [...]
I took this photo while in South Bend, IN. When I took it, thoughts of the church came to mind. How does this photo affect you?

When Scott shared that fact, you [...]

He used five points to communicate this message: Ears, Eyes, Hands, Feet, and Brain. To read my notes from Troy’s talk click on the link below.

Browsing through my Google Reader “starred” items today I found a few things I thought I’d share with you that really caught my eye. So…here they are:
Ineed2Change.com - Brian Bailey describes what this site is all about. Great idea. I wonder if it’s too late to pull off something like this for our upcoming series “Got Questions, God’s [...]
Blogging has been pretty scarce from me the last month due to a number of reasons. I’ve been really busy trying to help get 4 major projects going:
All Together Now - (kicked off August 11-12) Fall in-reach, out-reach, and marketing emphasis (more about this in a future post)
Promotion Weekend - (August 19-20) when all our [...]
I’ve never been too big of a fan for purpose statements. One main reason is that most churches spend a ton of time trying to come up with one that will make everyone happy and then they do nothing with it. (I know this is pretty cynical isn’t it?)
We have a purpose statement at Henderson [...]
