Members Reception Today

Today I’m hosting a brief reception for members after each of our services. It will be a 30 minute reception where I cast vision for the fall and provide key updates to our members.  The basic purpose for this is similar to the Newcomers Reception (which I wrote about here) but the focus is on members.

Since last year I’ve been working harder to communicate vision to our members and the top 10% of leaders in our church. Today’s reception is part of that effort.

I normally invite members to join me for a couple of times a year for a special Sunday afternoon lunch.  This time, I decided to do a series of shorter, more intimate gatherings for members after each service.  So far, the total RSVP’s for the receptions have outpaced the single lunch (more options = more people).

For more on the Top 10% Principle, check out this months podcast by clicking here.

Since I’ll be tied up with the receptions today, Chris Brady who leads The Journey -San Francisco will be teaching today at all four services.  Chris has a great story and is doing a fantastic job in downtown San Francisco – check out his website here.

Off to the first service….have a great Sunday!
