stuff we need

Okay, so now that I'm gonna try my durndest to keep this thing up to date, let me tell you about a few things we need to do:

1. I have spoken to a core group of people about our follow up process; there is none. I would like to establish a process where we follow up with new students every Thursday. Examples are someone sending out cards thru the mail from the office here. Another is someone driving out to their house in the middle of the night (acting out fantasies of being the tooth fairy) and placing a sign in the yard of the new student that thanks them for attending AMPED. Or one suggestion I have had is that we can provide cards for you to fill out on Wed nights in your small group folder and we mail them out the next day but they have been hand written by you. Possibilities are endless but I want to hear from you. Send us an email and let us know what ideas you have or what you are willing to do to help out.

2. Leadership Dinner - do you remember when we had dinner at the McCall's house and it was worry free and everyone had a good time? I would love to do that again, but the sad part is I don't want to put it together and organize it here from the office. My dream is that someone will take this idea and run with it, having it at different people's houses each month and Brittney does not have to put it togehter. It literally becomes an informal small group where we can just all hang out together. All that being said, we will kinda have this atmosphere at the retreat, and then I am moving to Grapevine at the end of the month, so I would like to host Oct. at my house in Grapevine, wherever that might be. Details to come, but if you wanna see this continue pick up the ball and run.

3. We are starting small groups during the weekend services for our students: Drama and AMPED U. If you would like to help out with these let us know. We are also staring a group this next Wed night at the church for girls called "Father Wounds". Space is limited but if you know of a Jr High girl that belongs there let us know. We will also be starting a class shortly called "Fresh Start" and it is for new beleivers on Wed Nights. Tooley has more info on that one.

4. Student greeters on Wed nights. need I say more?

Okay, I'm out of ideas. Get at me.
