Leadership meeting notes Nov 13

Journey Leader Meeting

Debrief Room 101 Transition:

• Acknowledge the accomplishment of the idea in creation and with the push back from Dennis, and the group as a whole taking initiative to move forward in complete respect and honor of Dennis- but still taking a role in asserting ideas that may have value outside what can be seen.
o Worked to find our way towards trust.
o Great that we can become more bonded together
o Gaining a sense of respect for us as a whole moving forward.
o Eph 5:21- submit to one another


Meeting Details

* We gave points of responsibility to the various team members. More details are to come, and there is a level of fluidness to this as we find our way forward.

* Our next meeting is Sunday Nov 30th after the Journey @ church.

* Those who did not turn in a reflection paper to Dennis can send them to him electronically.

* If you have a skype account please send Andrea your name- if you do not have skype the website is http://www.skype.com/ and the software is free to download.

* Small Groups will be an upcoming conversation- be thinking about who we should go after to start a small group.

Taking the plunge!! :)

Hey all! I hope your week is going well so far.

I just wanted to put it out there and there might be already something in the making--

I've had a couple people approach me about water baptism, wanting to get baptized.

Can we put a date on the calendar and start talking about it during announcements and even talk about the importance of it?

Love you guys and I'm thankful for each of your lives.

This Thursday

Here are a number of items that I need you to have in mind for this Thursday.

MY JOURNEY
I would like each of you to prepare a one (1) page summary of your own personal journey that summarizes these issues: a. What spiritual discipline are you embracing currently to aid you in your own spiritual formation? How are you doing with it? b. Who are you shaping/mentoring/discipling (could be formal as well an informal)? c. What is the next thing? In other words what is the one thing you know that God is seeking to address and advance in your life, and what are you planning to do about it?

CONNECTION GROUPS
As a part of our growing commitment to build relational connections in the Journey we will continue to explore our approach to small groups and potential candidates for leading in this effort.

JOURNEY TEAMS
As we move forward we will need to identify all of the core elements that go into our Journey gatherings and see that as a team we have everything covered to keep making progress in mutually sharing the load.

Patsy is cooking so the food will be good God will be there so we can expect grace and together we can continue to enjoy the deepening friendship that God is giving us as we serve to lead The Journey.

See you on Thursday,

Pastor Dennis
