This is a big week for me personally (my 14th Anniversary on Wednesday), professionally (see Thursday and Friday) and for Church Leader Insights….here’s what’s happening:

Monday – Usual staff meetings plus an interview with a potential staff pastor.

Tuesday – Last day to register for my Phoenix Fusion Seminar at the lowest rate…if you are anywhere within driving distance, I hope you can make it!  Click here for all the details about the August 14 event.

Wednesday – I’m off today as my normal weekly Sabbath but today is special…its my 14th Wedding Anniversary! I know, I know, Kelley is a saint!  More about this on Wednesday.

Thursday/Friday – Professionally, these two days are one of the highlights of my year.   Our entire staff plus key volunteers will be attending the Manhattan site of The Willow Creek Leadership Summit.  I highly recommend you attend too.

Saturday – I’m off to Phoenix – see Tuesday above.  I’m both teaching the Fusion Seminar and attending a private training event in the Valley of the Sun.  Don’t worry…I’ve already packed my sunscreen!

Starting tomorrow, watch for a series of posts that answer your key questions on Small Groups.

Have a great week!

Nelson
