Looking over my notes and Tweets from #Li2011. Here are some brief thoughts I wanted to share.
- I want to encourage you to take a team of people with you to help your church. You will find something your Church can use. I know that have somethings that I will be talking to both my churches about. One of those things will be to commit at least 3 people from each church to come next year.
- “God specializes ins resurrecting dead things.” I have counted at least 3 places that i have scribbled that on my notes and i think it is something that we need to keep in mind. How can God resurrect your congregation.
- What is your personal mission? What is your professional mission? Both something to think about.
- Leaders honestly face shortcomings and pursue excellence.
- Meaningful, moving, Well led worship is a must.
- Enjoyed spending time with Brett.
- Enjoyed the visit i made to Cross-Lines Community Outreach. They are doing good things Check them out. http://www.cross-lines.org/

I had a great time, i enjoyed all the workshops and the conversations that were before me on my trip to Kansas City. It was a lot to take in and still soaking it all in. I will be looking to take a team next year to help the Churches i serve learn something new. Thanks COR for being a good host.
