Friday Data Dump

So I was able to get a bunch of the stuff I’d been thinking about earlier in the week, so we’ll end the week with an abbreviated Friday Data Dump.
• Two of our interns, Darin LeBlanc, & Erin Smith will be starting next week. I’m really excited about working with both of them!
• I’ve been thinking lately how poisonous gossip is. And in churches it often gets couch in nice religious language. I’ll come and ask you for prayer about a situation I have with this really nasty person I’m dealing with…you hear one side of the story & automatically assume, “wow, that is a nasty person.” Which is why the writer of Proverbs tells us this:
“The first speech in a court case is always convincing—until the cross-examination starts! “(Proverbs 18:17, The Message)
• Speaking of communication, one of the great things we got from the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Conference in May was learning new ways of communicating. We’ve been going over a lot of it with our leadership and it has been really well received. We’re really excited about the difference it will make here as we implement these changes. We’ll spend some time on it with the whole church once I’m back in the fall.
• I know most of you are not Red Sox fans, but what is going on with all of the injuries…it is crazy…and yet they are still with in arms reach of first place.
• While our hope is to get the Vineyard Bookstore built up a bit more than it was when we were portable, we have finally gotten a scaled down version up & running for this Sunday. Starting next Sunday, we’ll have a few more titles building on the Emotionally Healthy Series.
• Our house still has not sold. And has now been on the market over 100 days. We definitely work at keeping our lives interesting!
• We just put our annual Clam Bake on the calendar today…September 19, 2010…Mark your calendars!
• Finally, don’t forget, only one service this Sunday @ 10 am…Have a great weekend!
