Well, scratch that last post. I went to the training. Gloria and the kids explored the town we were in while I attended the sessions. It wasn’t too bad. Something I’ve always been intrigued with is communication. In today’s world there has to be a tie between marketing and evangelism. I think for some churches it’s the marketing that gets the edge and evangelism coming in at a close second. While it’s totally possible to combine the two, the church seems to get a little trendy with some of the things we do. I for one am tired of hearing how we should be more like Starbucks. Please don’t try to explain. I understand the reasoning and will even agree with most points. I just think we’d do well to remember Starbucks probably cares more about selling lattes than creating community. It’s their niche not their purpose.
Anyways, I met a few people at the training and got out fairly early. There was even enough time to hang around town for lunch (and shopping!!) and still catch both games. Okay, things will be a little tricky in the morning. We have our monthly lunch and meetings scheduled tomorrow and all the game stuff starts at noon. So, I don’t plan on chewing or getting seconds; I’ll direct everyone to my written report and suggest we adjourn early. Maybe not, but I’ll try my best. Go Green!
