Journey Meeting May 14, 2009

Summer Theme

Deliberate Simplicity: Less is More, so that more is better…

1. You can do more of certain things
2. You can do less of certain things.
3. You can start to do things that your not doing at all today
4. You can stop doing some things all together.

It’s not about how much more can be added, but have we gotten away from things we don’t need…

June 20th our day long planning day meeting event for leadership.
Adding some additional voices- Greg and Michele and possibly Jamie and Sarah Lenhart.
Location will be determined ASAP

Summer Event Ideas

Hi there, just wanted to post something to add to our summer events discussion.

I was thinking that we could do more informal 'Journey Summers at the Park' (or something like that) at a park near the church. We could offer sports (for those that are interested in that), board games and food...perhaps once a month during the summer months.

These get togethers would not be dissimilar to our indoor summer events when we offered Wii, Bunko, etc., just outside.

What do you think? Or are we even starting to talk about summer events yet?

May 4, 2009 Meeting

Here are the notes from our meeting last night!!

June 20th- daylong event: we will meet at a local location. Plan to book out the whole day. We will be talking through concepts of vision and direction for the year to come.

Teaching direction for the summer….

Read through the Psalms and if you desire to participate in teaching along with Dennis connect with him and he can work to help make space for team teaching….however if you feel a pull towards one in particular Psalm or have an heart for one particular concept please let Dennis know ASAP- kind of a first come first serve situation.

Soft goal for the summer is to allow others into the mix of participation and service. Need to seek creative methods to engage those on the outside…expand our core group and expand the list of those who are serving.

May meeting will be at Monica/Jodi’s house. The agenda will be direction next 3 months….through labor day. How do we be intentional about connecting?

A discussion was had regarding pre service prayer. After some feed back it was decided that we would step back from doing fixed prayer during that time. For now we will be focusing more towards intercession and caring for current prayer requests.
