Thanks for this summary. I’m reading Craig Groeschel’s book “It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It.” The illusive “it” is what attracts people and makes ministries effective. Craig says “it” can’t be taught, but “it” can be caught. God gives “it.” “It” has a lot to do with the Holy Spirit. Churches that have “it” are incredibly focused, willing to fail, led by people who have “it,” and those people see potential when others see problems. Craig says “the spark of passion ignites the fuel for innovation.” And he says “it” follows big vision. God makes “it” happen. “It” is from him, by him, and for his glory. You may want to watch brief videos about the book’s message at http://www.zondervan.com/it and http://floatingaxhead.com/2008/08/11/the-power-of-it/

hey Richard — unfortunately no. I’m not sure why not…and not sure if/how many we invited. I’m hoping to get the DVD of some presentations and use them to help my teams get exposed to some of the stories and messages. And I’ll want to plan on taking some next year.

Were you able to get many of your lay leaders to go with you?
