It's ten degrees cooler in New Orleans this morning than it has been all summer. Fall is in the air! When I think of Fall, I think of change. God's creation changes with the seasons. His Church also has to change.
Myself, Tiffany Meliet (our Children's Minister), and Larry Marquez (Leadership Team member) just got back from a visit to North Coast Church in Vista, California (right outside San Diego). We were at a two day intensive, personalized conference just for us. North Coast Church started at about our size and is now very large. I asked God to use them to help share some of His plan with us. Their expertise in the area of small groups is unmatched. Needless to say, we learned a lot about small groups and will be implementing some things at the start of 2011.
Another thing we realized, our worship center is not setup as well as it could be for worship. We will be making some changes in regards to our physical setup very soon.
We are also in prayer about adding another worship service on Sunday morning. Please pray with me about this. There is change in the air both in the season and within the body of Christ here at Riverside. Don't you want to come be a part of it?
