Back In The Saddle

To say I have taken a more hands on approach this week would be THE understatement of the year.  I feel like I did when we first started the church and I am loving it!  Things have been insane the last two days and our guys (and gals) are stepping up to plate and jacking homerun after homerun.

I think we have laughed more, got more done this week, and just focused on the task at hand more then I can remember in a long.  It has been fun.  We got a couple of new people in the office and new blood always brings a freshness that gets lost at times.   I’m having fun and I forgot how much I enjoy coaching our guys and getting my hands dirty being part of making it happen.  This week has reminded me a lot of when it was just Tadd, Tim, Preston, and I in the early days.

Sunday is going to be off the hook!!!!!!  We had a cool creative meeting today to shore everything up and it is going to be a great end to RevolutionaryLove.tv.  The worship is going to be awesome, I am pumped about the message, we are going to celebrate communion together, and we are going to receive our Next Step Offering that is going to enable us to show Revolutionary Love to North Georgia in huge ways!!!

Christmas Eve we are meeting at the office at 4:00 p.m. to sing a couple of songs together and then we are passing out 250 dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts to everyone who has to work on Christmas Eve night in Cherokee and Pickens Counties.  It is going to be an awesome ending to RevolutionaryLove.tv.

On top of all that is going on at Revolution, I am gearing up to head to WinterPlace Ski Resort next week with Sidekick Student Ministries to teach at their winter camp.  We are taking a group of kids and I am so excited about this.  I haven’t taught to students in about 10 years so I am little freaked out, but I am going to have a blast.  The best part is DeAnna and the kids are coming with me.  The kids are pumped about seeing snow.

We are taking Sunday, December 30th off from having church to give all of our volunteers a Sunday off and then we are kicking 2008 off in a HUGE way.  We are launching a series called Confessions Of A Pastor and it is going to be no-holds barred!!!  We are pushing this series huge.  We are featured on the January cover of Around Canton Magazine and we are doing a HUGE direct mail piece that is going to most of Cherokee County and Pickens County.

2008 is going to be a HUGE year at Revolution and if you think we pushed hard this year, you ain’t seen nothing yet!!!!  I feel as pumped as I ever have.  Our team is as pumped as ever.  We are going to DOMINATE North Georgia this next year like never before.  I am more focused then ever to reach the unchurched people in North Georgia.

I’m back in the saddle and it feels good.
