Well, a few weeks of posting for a few months off, thats natural right?
Things have been busy. I was out of the office a week for training for the Card Access System at Concordia University, St. Paul and that was great. I had so much fun getting to know the people in my class and then learning about our system. Then I was back for a day and then Katie and I left for a conference at Willow Creek Community Church.
The conference, titled Arise, is geared for Worship and Arts ministers and workers. This was my second time at the conference and I highly recommend this to anyone working in a church. It was great to get loaded with ideas. I attended a session on Biblical principles for worship and the arts that was out of this world. I also attended a session on Building and Leading a Music Ministry that gave me new ideas to come back to my Worship and Music committee with and push them forward from looking at the individual Sundays to looking at the vision and the future of the worship life of St. Stephanus.
I also have been appointed to the Central Lutheran School Board. This has been interesting because they are stepping into strategic planning and I am excited to be involved in the process.
