Just got done reading Ignite by Nelson Searcy. That guy has good stuff going on. I learned some stuff that I think might help Riverstone Church. That thing I was talking about that was an aha moment for me wasn't anything super cool. But it was an idea and thought that made me say "duh!" We give out church pens every week and I know that many people have at least 5 if not 50 of them in their pocketbooks and cars. So I told everyone to get those pens and start leaving them places and giving them away. When you sign a receipt leave it with the person. Take them to the bathroom with you. Leave them wherever you go. It's a simple way to share God's love with our community by pointing people to a place they can find out about God. Plus it is a great way to invite people to church. So that is one tweak.
Another tweak we got going on right now is with the church staff. We are starting to put to paper those things that we do automatically every week. As we draw new people to come and serve with us we want to be able to hand them something that explains to them how we set up and break down every week. It's important because it helps us cut down on prep time so we can focus on prayer and other concerns.
I have something else we will be tweaking but that is for the leadership team to know on Thursday night. I will talk about it at the meeting and then I will let the rest of you know when the time comes.
