I have a little formula: change of pace + change of place = change of perspective. Works like a charm! We have to disrupt our routine so we can think new thoughts. That is why we do our planning retreat off site. It gets us out of our environment and out of our routine.

Really feel like God is revealing some things on this retreat. And that is the ultimate goal. I’d rather have one God idea than a thousand good ideas!

I also feel like this retreat is a great expression of our core value: work like it depends on you and pray like it depends on God. Without God’s hand of favor, forget it. But we also have to work hard. And hard work is a form of worship!

Sure would appreciate your prayers for our team. Big day in front of us!
