Here are some quotes from the feedback forms about this morning's Leadership Community...

• Enjoyed gathering group together and hearing stories of difference Little Oaks/Upstreet make in life of children

• This is the first time I've been invited to a directional leadership meeting, and I'm 61. Thanks - very much appreciated.

What would you improve/change for the next gathering?

• Chris has on a NY Giants t-shirt!

• Wear warmer socks (I'm pretty sure that wasn't directed towards me or any of the other presenters... how would they know if our feet were cold?!?)

First Leadership Community

We've got the first one under our belt! It was a great success with a lot of positive comments on the feedback forms. I'll share some of those later tonight. Right now, it's time for lunch and a little bit of rest...

A big thanks goes out to all of the pastors, staff members, and volunteers who went above and beyond to make this first gathering a home run!

Here We Go

It's 6:30am, and I am sitting in my office at the church. T-minus 60 minutes before Leadership Community begins. Right now, it is quiet and peaceful in the church.

The volunteers will start showing up soon to get breakfast ready, turn the lights on, crank the heat, and double-check that everything is in place.

The leaders will start showing up around 7:30am for breakfast. Music will be cranked. Videos will be played. Talks will be held. Fun will be had. Chaos may reign.

I'm ready...bring it on!
