Planning Retreat

Our pastoral staff was out of the office for most of this week planing sermon series and messages for the upcoming year. We like to be planned about a year out (when we left Wednesday we had made it through September 2011) and Pastor Doug is gracious enough to allow the other pastors to participate in this exercise. Some takeaways from the retreat:
  • While I'm biased, we've got some great series coming up!
  • If we can pull off our May 2011 series, it will be awesome! And I mean it!
  • Broom Tree was an excellent location. We stayed in the cabin with a full kitchen and it was great. The howling coytoes at night were not so great, and when I went for a morning run on Wednesday, I couldn't tell if the animal that jumped out behind the cabin and proceeded to follow me was a dog or a coyote. Needless to say, I cut the run short!
  • Monday night we went to Yankton to watch the game (no news here that Favre can still hurt a team as much as he helps it) and found a great little pizza joint.
  • Tuesday night we watched a couple episodes of Money Hungry, a reality show that has a Hillcrester on it. Melissa, the Hillcrester, does great, but the Phillip character is over the top!
