Calm Before The Storm….

DeAnna is off shopping with her mom, the kids are watching Saturday morning cartoons, the windows are open, and I am simply chilling.  I am doing everything I can to enjoy today because when today is over things get CRAZY and non-stop for the next month.

• Easter is two weeks away!
• We have 21 churches coming to hang out Thursday for a church planting roundtable.  It is going to be fun!
• We have our membership class Friday night.  If you are not a member of The Stone you will want to sign up for this class!  It is a great time to hear the vision and hear where we are headed as a church.  Plus the desserts are off the hook and the Starbucks coffee will be hot.
• Easter is two weeks away!
• Next week our mailers hit and Around Canton magazine with us on the cover hits every mail box in the city.
• Our next Home Team session starts
• Easter Sunday will be off the hook!!!!!  Get your friends there!
• We are launching a series called 24 on Easter.  It is going to be awesome.
• We have our Lead Team staff retreat where we will be dreaming and planning some HUGE things that will literally change the face of Ridge Stone and the areas we are reaching.
• Last week in April I am off to Orlando to the National New Church Conference.  I will be doing a Blogging Pastor Roundtable with some awesome people like Ben, Tadd, Dave, Mark, and Shawn.
• We will be meeting about our summer schedule.  Summer is very tricky in a movie theater as they start showing movies  way earlier then normal.  Logistically it is a nightmare.
• We start our new series called Hell No which is going to rock your world.

I have a habit of saying as soon as I get through whatever I am working on at the time that things will slow down.  I have learned that in a growing church that things NEVER slow down.

I love it!!!
