thoughts on base camp

saturday was our first base camp at the church (TCOW/citichurch). this is a leadership gathering that will take place every 1st saturday. it is designed to better communicate our vision and strategy as we participate in the missio dei here in chicago. here are a few thoughts from saturday:

- great attendance! we had around 67 people show up. it is exciting to see what GOD is beginning to assemble.

- pancakes were fun... nothing like food to bring people together

- the people of our church are amazing... wonderfully gifted and talented individuals. GOD is assembling quite a team.

- talking vision gets me fired up... it reminds me of why i do what i do.

- talking vision makes me grateful... it allows me to see what GOD has already done.

- talking vision stirs my faith... it helps me dream big, knowing that we have a big GOD.

- it was neat to see our two sites interact... we need more of this, to communicate one church, two neighborhoods.

- our team did a great job.

- it is only going to get better... i am already getting excited for our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th camp! i know GOD is really going to use this for HIS glory.
