Refreshed

Vacations are great! I highly recommend them. There's nothing like getting away for a little while to recharge the old batteries.
I will be preaching this weekend again after three Sundays off. It feels kind of wierd, but I can't wait! I will begin a 2 week mini-series called "The Untouchables"-- we'll be discussing sex and divorce. Speaking of divorce, why is it that if an axe- murderer gives his life to Christ we bring him on stage to share his story, but a divorced person walks into a church and they are shunned?
We have always made an effort to open our doors and arms to EVERYONE at Foothills. Our motto is "bring your baggage--we'll help you unpack it"

Book Review---Multi-Site Church Revolution

For anyone thinking about starting an additional site or venue this book is a must read. I was very interested in reading this book because we plan to be offering an additional venue (possibly 2) in our new building that we hope to be occupying in late 2007.
This book is low on "theory" and high on "practicality", which to me, is a good thing. There are plenty of case studies from various size and style churches, and a lot of nuts and bolts facts.
It is an easy read, and for me it only bogged down in a couple of places.
Overall I would give this book 4 stars.
Do yourself a favor, if you are even remotely considering an additional venue or site (or if you just want to get an insight into the future) read this book.
