I’m looking forward to another great week here in the greatest city in the world:

Monday – Today is staff and worship planning meetings. One exercise we are doing today as a staff is asking the question “How do we WOW people when they first walk into church on Sunday?” I’m looking forward to this brainstorming meeting – I’ll post the ideas later in the week.

Tuesday – Watch your CLI email as we are introducing The New Testament Challenge Campaign Kit today. This is unlike any resource we’ve ever done – it’s a full campaign to lead your people to read and study the New Testament in 3 months. Includes everything you need for Sunday services and small groups.

Wednesday – My day off. A big secret about NYC is the quality of the beaches. Long Island here I come (I’ll be the guy with the three books -ha!).

Thursday – I’m interviewing some prospective staff members today (seems like I’m always recruiting! In fact, we have a number of opportunities so are you looking to join our staff? Seriously, send me some info with your thoughts on what you are good at.). I’ll be praying a lot on Thursday . . . not only because of the interviews but because I have a dentist appointment in the afternoon (does anyone else hate the dentist?!).

Friday – Message run thru for Sunday’s sermon. My goal is to preach Sunday’s message at least once before Sunday.

Saturday – I’ll be working most of the day but heading out a little early to take Alexander to the Nassau Coliseum Fair . . . nothing I love more than watching my son have fun!

I’m also very excited about a series of posts that we are doing this week on the blog – so check back each day, it will be with your time.

Have a great week!
