WEEKEND WRAP UP: This past weekend we kicked off our new series, “Flipped”. This series takes a look at some of the ways Jesus flipped the world’s ways of thinking upside down. This week’s topic was “Power Doesn’t Matter”. Matt Hall, one of our team members, did a fantastic job of helping students look at Jesus’ view of what true power is all about. We played a game we called “Flipped Phrases”, which was a rip off of Mad Gab which went over well. We also had a cool backdrop/sign on stage with our “Flipped” logo on it that we flipped over halfway through the lesson, which was a pretty fun little visual.
STAFF CAMP: We are trying something new in a couple of weeks. Because of budget cuts, we lost the ability to take our team to a conference this year for ongoing learning etc. So, in a creative moment we decided to take the money it would cost for ONE person to go to a conference and put on our own, in house, conference for our entire student ministry team. We have asked a couple of the other pastors on our team to share with us, we will do some reading, some training etc. Should be awesome….but could be a flop!
CHANGES: A couple of months ago I posted here that our team is in the beginning stages of streamlining our programs, re-evaluating how we spend our time etc. Two months later and we are still taking some baby steps toward some fairly significant changes that we will ease into throughout the summer and into fall.
HARRY REID: I’m not sure which is worse, the horribly offensive language he used to make his point, or the sad sad sad reality that what he said is probably true. Actually, I do know which is worse. One is one man’s display of ignorance and racism while the other is that of an entire society.
RADICALIS:It’s not to late to join Pastor Rick, Andy Stanley, Mark Driscoll and others at Saddleback’s Radicalis conference. The conference includes NINE HOURS worth of youth ministry training and discussion with Doug Fields and our Saddleback student ministry team.
