How many committees are really necessary? (And I'm not talking about a church...)
Karen & I were reading through the materials sent home with Ethan from his Kindergarten teacher. Included in the mountain of paperwork was a list of the PTA Committees. There are 34 different committees that parents could get involved with!
My personal favorite was the Standing Committee Chair Committee. This is the description provided...
"The Standing Committee Chair Committee helps to make sure that all of the committees have chairs and committee members." Seriously?!?

In Acts 17 the Apostle Paul is in Athens at a meeting place called the Areopagus - the gathering place for all those interested in "talking about and listening to the latest ideas." I have mused for some time that coffeehouses are the new Areopagus. The coffeehouse environment seems to encourage people to be more open with their hearts and their thoughts. This blog is an attempt to capture that environment to share my reflections on faith, family, life, and leadership. ::Chris Genders::

About Me
- Chris Genders
- I am a staff member at Great Oaks Community Church in Germantown Hills, IL. An avid student of leadership and organizational development, I have just recently joined the staff of GOCC to lead and develop their adult small group program. I will also have the opportunity to serve as one of the teaching pastors during the weekend services. I have earned a B.S. in Business from Eastern Illinois University in 1996 and an M.A. in Leadership from Lincoln Christian Seminary in 2004. My wife, Karen, and I have been married for 12 years. We have two children, Ethan and Morgan. In addition to reading and spending time with my family, I enjoy backpacking, camping, whitewater rafting, and many other outdoor activities. My favorite activity at this time is taking my kids for nature walks whenever possible.

I certainly hope they included the committee governance committee that includes a member of each committee to make sure no committee gains more power than another committee!
