Hello all! What a great meeting we had last night! So glad the cold didn't deter you all from joining us!Weekly Numberz:
1. Launch Team Attendance: 47 (Goal=100)
2. Giving: Last Night $0 (What???? I guess I'll have to drop a $5 spot in or something to keep that off the board!)
Week: General: $200 Building: $105 (Goal: General $1,500 Building $500)
3. Spirit: Off the hook! What a great night we had together!
For those who were not there, here's a recap:
1. We talked about ushering people into the Kingdom of God and not just attendance or raised hands for feeling of accomplishment. When we truly are ushered into His Kingdom, we will never be the same!
2. We set up our MATRIX...that thing we must fill out so that we might have weekend services!
Will be able to click on our MATRIX soon to see where we stand. Areas of service include:
Set-Up and Tear-Down/Bookstore/Cafe/Ushers/Greeters/Building Cleaning/Grounds/Hopeland Children's/Xtreme Kidz/Kidz Registration/Band/Vocal/Camera Operators/Computer and lighting/Drama Team/Set-Design/Sound/Small Group Leaders and probably a few more! Who knew it took so much to pull off a service?
3. We divided up geographically for Connection Groups, the life blood of our community as we grow together in relationship with each other and our God.
At our next meeting...CALENDAR FUNCTION TO BE UP SOON. (Next meeting: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7th @ 6:30 pm...HERE at Ashland Theological Seminary Sandburg Leadership Center rooms 303-304.)
4. We also talked about giving via whatever campus we are at. It will take all of us to make this happen!
5. We talked about how we are TRULY working with at least one other church together to launch New Hope in Ashland and bring people into BOTH of our ministries...2 MINISTRIES ACTUALLY WORKING TOGETHER ON GETTING PEOPLE INTO BOTH CHURCHES? Now that's a grand idea that someone talked about before...LOOK HERE.
What an amazing thing that God is already doing! We seek to impact Ashland and beyond in a HUGE way!
Stumble across this blog? We would love to have you join us at our next launch team meeting. Don't worry, we have guests every week! No pressure, at least come for the FREE FOOD...
blessings and peace this weekend...
