weekly update, 10.13.09

Hi folks,

Here's the video update for this week:



HIGHLIGHTS:

All Team Meeting Re-cap:
We hit an absolute home run tonight, you guys.  You were welcoming and engaging with the new faces, you interacted well with our topic of equipping, you responded as Jesus would have to the opportunity to be equippers... just amazing to witness it and be a part of it.  Proud and humbled all at once!  We'll be putting up the audio file from the evening, as well as a .pdf file of my notes and a .pdf file of the Inspired magazine so that you can view both online!

Worship Director Candidate Update
We're finishing up 2nd round interviews and proceeding into some 3rd round interviews with candidates here this week and the next, both for the Waterloo and Cedar Falls campuses.  Keep on praying about this process; your prayers are really working so far!  We have some wonderful candidates, and the decision is going to be difficult in the best of ways.  There's a great chance that we might have some of them visiting us here in the next few weeks!

Retreat Reminder
Although we told you about this about a month ago, the time of our upcoming retreat is now approaching.  On Friday, November 13th, 6:00 - 10:00 p.m. and Saturday, November 14, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. we'll be holding a P&P retreat at Hartman Reserve right here in Cedar Falls.  It's not an overnight, so you don't have to worry about accommodations, and it's right here in town, so no worries about travel time (especially if you're scheduled to serve that weekend!).  This is a GREAT opportunity for you to get some time away to worship and connect, especially if you're new to the P&P family.  And for you faithful P&P'ers, this is a GREAT chance for you to get to know some of the new faces, and show them how we learn, worship, and have fun together.  Mark your calendars.  We'll be giving you a few more specifics as they come.
