The Staff Who Plays Together, Prays Together

It's a dangerous thing to be gone for several days. Bob and I attended the Focus of the Church conference sponsored by the Center for Christian Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary on Monday and Tuesday of this week. It was a great conference and I'm really thankful that I was able to attend.

We asked Mark Forstrom to lead the Tuesday staff meeting in our absence. Mark always makes life interesting and he once again lived up to his reputation! Mark asked each staff member to wear a "crazy hat" to staff meeting. You can click on the picture above to see a slide show featuring the wacky hats. Thank you to Gina Green for taking the photos so that Bob and I could see what goes on in our absence!

However it wasn't all fun and games. Mark had each staff member write out prayer requests on a mailing label and then place it on their back. People then moved throughout the room, pausing to pray silently for one another. It was a very creative and powerful prayer time! Mark once again proved that the"staff who plays together, prays together!"
