Wow, it has been a while! A lot has been happening, especially on Sunday afternoons and this has made it difficult to keep up with the briefing. I am also mulling over some other thoughts but don’t want to start discussing them half baked, so you’ll have to wait a little longer for a few more ‘deeper’ posts.
In this next week my big focus is on planning. Planning for The Hub, with the launch now just 21 weeks away. Planning for Sync Youth, which has been growing nicely and is starting to form a really good culture amongst the youth we have coming along.
Amongst all the hussle and bussle I am trying to keep a little ahead so as not to cause any ‘stop’ that doesn’t need to be there. Keeping the dynamics of youth, leaders, parents, effective communication and engaging experiences in line is proving to be a challenge but one that I am enjoying.
God is also talking to me a lot about prayer. Yes, that is right, God is talking to me about prayer, which is kinda what prayer is all about (speaking AND listening!) In particular I have been feeling him say to me that The Hub will not succeed based on whether we do everything ‘right’ or not, but on whether or not we get down on our knees and pray this new church plant into existence. This is hard for someone like me who likes to put shape and structures to things. This isn’t to say we won’t be doing that, but the focus I feel needs to be on prayer, not necessarily getting everything ‘right’.
We’ll see how this week goes
