1. We have two desserts, one tonight and one tomorrow night. They are primarily to thank our supporters who have contributed over the last year to our Leadership Residency and church plant. We are pretty much all set, but I'm going to prepare some notes for saying thank you, sharing what we learned in the Residency and casting vision for where Anthem Church is going.
2. We are going to start two community groups next week. They are primarily designed to take our potential community group leaders through a shortened group to get to know us and let us get to know them. I'm going to be inviting leaders to join us starting next Thursday and Sunday.
3. We are raising funds and have a plant to bust through the economic downturn :) So I'll be working on two different fund raising letters and get those ready to send out asap.
4. We're having a launch team meeting at the end of May so I'll be finalizing the details and informing everyone about where and when that's happening.
5. I'm meeting a church planter from Ventura for lunch at his friend's pub in Santa Paula. He planted Catalyst Ventura recently so I've got a lot of questions for him.
6. I'm meeting up with one of our launch team members to go for a walk this afternoon. He and his wife are going to lead a community group and he may be one of our key leaders.
7. I'll be coming home and Kristen and I will be getting the house ready for dessert tonight at 7:00.
