Today is planning day! Not really, I hate it. 17 people in the same room working on a plan for the next 6 months. “I’ve got that date,” No, I had it first” “Can we work something out” “I just need a little space” “This is gonna take the entire building” “What’s our priorities?” Doesn’t it sound like fun?

Not fun, but necessary. If a church staff is going to function like a team and create fellowship we all have to be on the same page. Remember the FCA definition of fellowship (at least in my day this is what they taught me) “Fellowship is a bunch of fellows (and ladies) in the same ship rowing in the same direction.” Calendar should not be dictated or controlled by one individual. The larger you get the more that is true.

We’ll laugh, we’ll complain (someone will anyway), we’ll negotiate and when we leave we’ll have a plan. Some wise guy once said, “man makes his plans, but God directs his steps.” Direct our steps today is my prayer.
