The BIG Challenge

March 26, 2009 in Goals, Rants, The Connection Church with 1 Comment

The BIG HUNT is coming fast! We’ve got some exciting stuff in store this year.

But the BIG STAR of the event is always the HUGE NUMBER of candy filled eggs that we gather for the kids in our community to hunt. Buying and filling the eggs is one of my favorite outreaches that we do each year.

This year, we are going for 30,000 eggs! And here is the deal: Pastor Cole has agreed to have The Connection Church blocks tattooed on him if the church can come up with the 30,000 eggs. Below you’ll see an artists rendering of what he might come out looking like.

On top of that, if we can gather 30,000 eggs AND 100 volunteers, I will also get the logo tattooed on me. So, bring it Connection Church. Yes, I’m talking smack to all of you…

Cole is praying that we get 29,999 eggs and I am praying for about 99 volunteers. I’m kind of looking forward to watching Cole pass out on video personally.

Be sure to bring your candy filled eggs to church with you on Sunday and stop by the big hunt table to sign up to serve at this event.

Prayer, Don’t You DARE…

Don’t you dare tell someone that you will pray for them, unless you really are going to. prayer

I mean it.

Too many of us have cheapened prayer down to something we just throw around and say we’ll do. Then we don’t.

You have two options:

1. Don’t tell them you’ll pray for them if you know you won’t.

2. Tell them you’ll pray for them and then DO.

Jacked About…

I’m totally jacked and cannot go to sleep because of two things:

First, our Current Leadership meeting that is in 8 hours.

Second, this Sunday. I am preaching. I haven’t preached in two months. Here is what my buddy Loui Canchola said:

He’s right. Well, you don’t need to watch out. But you need to know this: I am pumped. I literally cannot sleep. I just went downstairs and preached the sermon as practice again.

Connection Church, let me just say this: get your lost friends to church this Sunday. I know its the end of spring break and you are tired, but be there.

You have been praying for the names that you wrote on the God’s Most Wanted list.

Now, you need to invite them. You have all day today. Do whatever it takes.

See you Sunday…

Parking Lots and MINISTRY

March 17, 2009 in Life Change, Rants, The Connection Church with 7 Comments

Look at this conversation I had on twitter over the weekend with a twitter friend. Start at the bottom and work back up to the top. Its short. This woman went to this church for 18 years regularly.

So, I just wonder, how many lost people are pulling into our parking lots and never making it in the doors?

Suddenly, the job of parking lot greeter is PROVEN to be incredibly important…

What do you think?
