What’s on my plate
Posted on09. Nov, 2009 by Kenny.
‘Tis the season to be crazy busy, huh?
I’ve got several things I’m working on right now, several of which I know I’d like to share on this blog. I find that the things taking up my time tend to be the best topics to write about. Not only does it help me engage better in my work, but it opens up opportunities to get ideas and critiques from others.
It does seem that I’ve very busy right now, but it’s not filled with urgent deadlines of things that need to be ready for this weekend. Rather, it’s the stuff we’re doing next winter, spring and summer. So, here’s a look into my world and the things that have me busy at the moment!
- Following up with 200 regularly attending kids who’ve been MIA in in October due to the flu and other issues
- Planning a Christmas theme (I don’t know what to call it) that will provide some fun momentum heading into the holiday season
- Nailing down the details for summer camp and launching early bird registration by Black Friday
- Finalizing our 2010 Calendar (Including all deadlines for promotion and advertising)
- Developing our system for follow-up in 2010 (First, Second and Third time visitors as well as MIA’s and follow-up to all kids)
- Finalizing our 2010 budget
- Preparing to launch a prototype for small group/discipleship in January/February
- Giving our two day retreat for pre-married couples a complete overhaul
Other than the pre-married retreat, I plan to write about all of these things in the next few weeks. In addition, I have three other things on my heart I’ve been meaning to type out for several months. One involves reaching children in the third world. Another involves the parable of the talents (this one’s been stewing in me for 6-8 months). Finally I have a lot to write about what God is teaching me about faith. I have history (a better word for baggage, right?) with the concept of faith that isn’t entirely biblical and it’s been cool what God has been teaching me.

Week in review
Posted on16. Aug, 2009 by Kenny.
This week past week was unbelieveably busy. Seriously, I can barely believe it all happened.
Essentially I wrapped up our new volunteer handbook which included fine tuning our mission, strategy and values. Then on Tuesday night we trained a good chunk of our volunteers. The training focused primarily around the volunteer handbook, our mission/strategy/values and our expectations. Then on Wednesday and Thursday we focused on getting ready for our Lock-In which brough in 133 kids and 45 leaders. Following that was a child dedication on Saturday moring. We wrapped up the week with a full day of Sunday services.
Unfortunately it has been my busy schedule which has kept me from blogging.
So, this week looks better (a little bit) and I should be getting back to the blog some this week and at full force the following week. Looking forward to some engaging conversations!
