Garage Sales

Man do I love a good garage sale. It is that time of year again, when everyone is selling something. I love a good deal, and the bartering that takes place during a sale is my favorite part.

But it seems that no matter how often you have a garage sale, the next year you still have a bunch more junk you need to get rid of. Ever noticed that? I think the church falls in the same boat. And not with just physical junk we collect. (We have some things in the office right now, that needs to be ebayed. The official garage sale of the known world)

We collect systems, and ways of doing things that sometimes needs to be junked. Sometimes its habits that started out good, and with well intentions, that might have been very useful this time last year. But we have changed, grown, empowered others to help; and we need to "sell" some of the old systems.

We are in the process right now of looking at each department, and seeing how we can retool and revamp for the summer. We want to grow like we did last summer. The summer shouldn't be a barrier for a church, it should be a high spot. So we are going to make it just that.

I am pumped about the "church garage sale."
