Tomorrow we will be hosting our Church Planter's Connection at the Northwest Conference Office. I really need you all to make an effort to attend and to bring your best ideas with you.

We are going to spend our time answering the question: What do we do with the summer months? If there is one consistent refrain I have heard over the last few years, it is, "what do we do during the summer when so many 'check out'?"

Some of you have found some unique and creative ways to redeem the summer months and make them work for you and the church. Others need to hear from you. I really need you experienced and seasoned veterans to show up to provide some resources and ideas to those just starting out.

So grab some lunch on your way in, bring your amazing ideas, and join your peers. We also have some planning and calendar things to discuss and I really need your input as we look ahead to the next 12 months.  This should be fun. See you tomorrow at noon.
