I’m very excited about the week ahead, here’s what’s going on with me and CLI:

Monday – I’m in the office until 2pm and then off to Chicago.  Here’s what a Monday morning looks like around The Journey: 9:00am – Meeting with my Executive Assistant; 10:30am – Strategic Team Meeting (my direct reports); 1:30pm – All Staff Meeting (30min max); 2:00pm – Worship Planning.

Tuesday – Today is my dad’s 75th Birthday (Happy Birthday Dad).  I’ll be at Willow Creek Church in Chicago through Friday.  Today Jason and I are recording some Worship Planning resources that the Willow Creek Association is packaging to offer to church leaders via their website.  We are in the studio all day.  Here’s a link to the Worship Planning Resources that are available now. Also, watch your email for the new Church Leader Insights newsletter – I’m very excited about the articles in this months edition.

Wednesday – Attending the Willow Creek Arts Conference – if you are attending, let me know.

Thursday – Speaking at the Willow Creek Arts Conference. Even if you are not attending there are some great resources here. Jason and I are attending The Second City tonight – last time we went I almost pulled a muscle laughing so hard!

Friday – Wrap up at Willow Creek and head to my in-laws home in Atlanta.  I should get to Atlanta just in time for Atlanta rush hour traffic!

Saturday – My son’s second birthday party in Lawrenceville, GA (northeast Atlanta).  All of our families are coming together – should be a lot of fun!  Maybe I’ll post some pics over the weekend.

What a privilege it is to be in ministry!  Hope you have a great week!
