I am a big planner. I believe the Lord can speak to us months out and not just at the spur of the moment. God tends to speak to me through prayer, planning and preparation. Here is a list of things that have been nailed down for 2010, or that will be nailed down by the end of the year.
1. Our 2010 sermon series are 90 percent nailed down. This really gives our Creative and Media Teams time to produce high quality work.
2. My time off from speaking has been nailed down.
3. Our advertising strategy. The times throughout the year that we want to do heavy marketing.
4. The speakers who will be speaking at PC when I'm not are 90 percent nailed down.
5. The events to help people grow spiritually and develop Kingdom friendships through our Community Groups.
6. We are working on nailing down our baptismal dates.
7. We are working on what events we want our kids and youth ministry involved in during the summer.
8. We have nailed down our Next class dates.
9. We are working on nailing down our Starting Point dates.
10. Our Volunteer Celebration Banquet has been nailed down. Volunteers, this will happen on January 29. It's going to be blast! Thank you for volunteering faithfully every week.
This list is not exhaustive, but gives you an idea of what we are working on at PC! I enjoy planning ahead!
