Wanted to do a rare Saturday post with some misc. stuff..
My friend Craig Groeschel has stepped into the blogging world! (Welcome dude!) I first met Craig at Willow’s A2 conference this past year and I automatically loved the guy. Why? He’s real…and he is one of the most innovative thinkers on the planet. Here is the link to his blog.
Nelson Searcy & Kerrick Thomas are going to be doing a church planting seminar in New York later this month. I would HIGHLY recommend this because…well…these guys are NOT just full of theory…but rather than have learned what to do AND what not to do—because they have been in the trenches…and are going to share this information! Here is the link to that!
With Tony’s move being announced there were several people who weighed in with a blog post…
- Here is Tony’s annoucement
- (Hey NewSpringers—leave him a comment welcoming him to the South!)
- Here is Tim’s take (The Executive Pastor @ Granger)
- Here is Kem’s take (she works in Tony’s area at Granger)
- Gary had some awesome insights into Southern living—with the exception of #1…which is heresy!
- Jonathan put a picture on his blog
- Kevin Hendricks put up a post (this is one of my favorite sites…you either LOVE or HATE the name…and I love it!!!)
And one more thing…since I saw in internet world that the cat is already out of the bag—sort of! Pastors, church leaders…whoever…mark your date books for Thursday, March 15th. NewSpring Church will be hosting our first ever mini-conference!!! It will be a one day event with two leadership lessons AND two breakout sessions where people can ask questions and get answers!!! We will be addressing things such as…
- A senior pastors only breakout
- Children’s ministry
- Creative service planning
- Youth ministry
- Volunteers
- Home groups
- Communications
And a few other things as well.
This is me really letting the cat out of the bag—stay tuned next week as we launch the website for this event. I can’t wait!!!
