Back in one of my earliest posts, as I had just started off as a newbie pastor here at Fellowship Church, I shared the next 5 series would be doing over the next several months at our church. So I thought I’d do it again. Here they are, and I’ve also put were I came up with the idea below.
Nature Lover: A journey through Psalms- 4 weeks
Begins July 6th at the Party in the Park and ends on July 27th
Idea: Came from my head. I’m an ideator.
Treasures: Finding Proverbs - 5 weeks
Begins August 10 and ends on September 7
Idea: Came from my head, but was probably inspired in some way by Lonnie and Andy.
Changeup: The story of Pauls conversion- 4 weeks
Begins September 14 and ends on October 5
Idea: From the old noggin, but was probably inspired by my 1st grade teacher, Miss Talis.
the Levite Chainsaw Massacre: The worst story in the Bible - 4 weeks
Begins October 12 and ends on November 2
Idea: Once again, came from my head, but was probably inspired by Hannibal Lector (just kidding)
The Fellowship Globe: Missions - 2 weeks
Begins November 9 and ends November 16
Idea: Probably something like a missions conference, which I was exposed to growing up in this church.
Say what you need to say: A bucket list of words - 2 weeks
Begins November 23 and ends November 30
Idea: Andy
Presence: The Gift of God - 4 weeks
begins December 7 and ends December 28
Idea: Steven Furtick
30 Days to Live – 4 weeks
Either in January or February
Idea: Craig Groeschel
Got any more ideas for me?
Sometime in 2005 I took a test to find out what my strengths were. I found that my top 5 were as follows: 1. Ideator, 2. Positivity, 3. Connectedness, 4. Competition, 5. Developer
I noticed as several of my friends took the same test that several of us had one of those in common. Out of the 7 people I know that took the test, 5 of them had connectedness as a strength.
Some qualitites of someone with this strength – “That I gain confidence from knowing that we are not isolated from one another or from the earth and the life on it; I am part of a larger picture, and I must not harm others because I will harm myself; and I am a bridge builder between people of different cultures.”
Enter the beauty of web 2.0 to people like me.
I’m not a fan of compartmentalizing my life. I like things, whether it’s people in my life or web sites I go to, to all be connected to one another. This makes my mom and google both very happy.
How does this affect me?
I like it when my family and my friends and all the people in my life meet. What makes this interesting is when they don’t get along. I think everyone should get along. Not like each other, just get along.
I like using google and itunes. My friend Clay swears against itunes, and probably rightfully so, but I like when things connect together easily, so I use it. I know, I know Clay, I sacrifice things to use itunes. Google connects a lot of things in my web life, like my Calendar, my way to find where I might be going, my blog reader, my connect with Fellowship Church podcasts, and even my weather, not to mention my documents (I don’t have to pay for Microsoft office again!)
