Well, we're just under four weeks away from being unemployed and it seems like we are a million miles away from finishing the job. There are a ton of things to do to get our volunteers ready for the transition. Right now, we're trying to find volunteers to serve as point people for ministry areas and giving our volunteers a look at what tasks are involved in carrying out the ministry. Our hope is that a number of volunteers will take small pieces of the ministry to make the task of the point people easier. We're hoping to have our new Creative Planning Team (consisting of point people and other creative thinkers) in place by May 21 which is coming up WAY too fast.
We're also trying to get things ready for ministry the next few weeks. We'll be doing a worship concert the night of May 22nd including 15+ songs from the full eight years that we've been here. Rehearsals are coming along nicely, but there's a lot of detail stuff to do as yet.
Camp is coming up as well which means we've got devotional material to write and a band to rehearse. I'm hoping to use a few students from some other churches, but I still want to keep things small. Music selection, lead sheet prep and rehearsals will be a big focus next week as we need to have most things pretty well in place by the end of May since we'll be out of the state for at least most of June. The camp's at the end of July and I'm hoping that we can get everybody up to speed before we arrive at Epworth Forest instead of just putting things together on the fly. We shall see.
The house is for sale and all other plans are on hold until June 1, so we'll see where all this is headed.
