Leaders Stick Together

We had a great Leadership Community meeting this month. I'm showing my photos off with a new, free photo viewer provided by slide.com. The photos advance on their own, you don't have to do anything. Let me know how you like it!

We are enjoying using the Red Green theme for the months of January thru March. Pastor Bob even showed off his new Red Green suspenders! Doug Forret won the Best Dressed award with his ductape vest!

Our Glory Lodge Leadership Community meeting kicked off with the Leaders Prayer:
I'm a leader
I can lead
Because I get to
By God's strength.

We enjoyed Lightening Round presentations by Dianna Burnett for SinglesTogether, Erin Bird for the Campus Staff, and Gina Green for the Women's Retreat.

Pastor Bob gave us several important Community Neighborhood News (CNN) updates:

• We are now in the Throne Zone with our master plan. We hope to wrap up the master planning phase by the end of February. The issues is how much can we trust God for in the first phase. We hope to bring the master plan to the congregation late spring, early summer and then vote on the project a month later.
• Faithful Endeavor ~ Our Relocation Journey is the name of our relocation project. This process is all about people - reaching more people with the gospel and then helping them grow.
• On February 25 we will begin a new financial series called Real Life. On March 11 we will launch small groups that will study the Good $ense material.
• We are planning to launch a second site this fall in order to open up more seats at our 1800 46th Street site. The sermon will be captured on DVD and then shown at our multi-site campus. We are going to ask 100-150 people from our 46th Street campus to help us launch this new site.

Pastor Bob gave us a great leadership lesson using this Red Green video. Red Green attempts to to concoct an ingenious system of head projection, all to no avail of course. Pastor Bob encouraged us as leaders to be prepared for attacks from Satan. Our enemy is seeking someone to devour. Ephesians 6 encourages us to put on our armour in order to stand against our enemy. Our protection comes from community, spiritual disciplines and mission.
