Join us on Monday, September 7 for a cookout at Laurel Park. We’ll be out there from 4 – 7pm. This is for anyone! The park has things for children and adults alike. They have a volleyball court, tennis courts, ponds, basketball courts, large fields and a walking trail.
We have rented a large pavilion where we will have the grills going. You simply need to bring what you want grilled. We’ll supply some sides and drinks.
Though there is no formal programming, this will be a great opportunity to connect with those people who you see all the time at church, but have no idea about their story. This will also be a great environment in which to invite a friend.
For directions and park info, click here.
Feel free to comment on this post with questions or comments.

I know it has been a couple weeks since I Blogged here. I am very active on Twitter and Facebook so if you want the personal scoop you can look on either of those sites and “follow” me in my world. Twitter is a more moment by moment info and general in nature. Facebook is a slight bit more detailed but not as often.
Now on to info about “The Street.” Most frequently mentioned question to me in passing is, “Are you going to be here next week?” I will take that in the best way possible and avoid the paranoid tendencies of thinking there is a coup about to happen.
Actually I totally understand the question. I am sporadic to be sure in my year-plus here at Roswell Street (The Street). While we have had some great fill in speakers I understand the need to know, so when we bring a friend it is not a surprise. Even if the surprise is good.
So here are the dates I am booked to be OUT. The rest of the time I fully plan on being on the stage and excited to be a part of the Connections service in person. I will however not be there every week to set up chairs but most weeks I will. July 5th, and 19th I will be in Gulf Shores, AL and Moore, OK respectively. September 27th and November 1st, I will be in Cincinnati, OH and surrounding areas. There are a few other dates IN the Fall and Winter pending but I will let you know those as well when they confirm.
So plan on having to look at my unique face each Sunday other than those. It is really getting good at The Connections service.
See you Sunday!

This coming Sunday night is the Lord’s Supper at Roswell Street. Join us in the main Worship Center at 6pm…

I talked with two ladies that I met in the lobby after last Sunday’s service about their tattoos. It is amazing the stories that people have behind their tattoos.
If you have a tattoo, comment on this post with a picture and your story. We would love to hear about it.
For those of you who have questions about whether a Christian should or should not have a tattoo, check out these links to generate some discussion…
At Roswell Street you will find various views on this subject. A few staff members here have tattoos. Some do not think that it is a good idea and some think that it’s ok. Regardless of the various views on this subject, we all welcome those who are tattoed and those who are not.

New Parking lot signs will be all over the place.
Below is a picture of the new ‘G’ being installed on the ‘G-building’.

We are beginning a new series this coming Sunday called Trading Places. Kenn will be leading all four messages.
Today, I picked up the letters that are going to be used for the backdrop. A friend of Kenn’s cut the letters out using water! He actually cut roofing tin into letters by using high pressure water. Make sure to pay attention to them on Sunday.
The guy can cut anything from tin to bullet proof glass like it is nothing. Check out below a picture of a marble sign that he is creating for a company. I have also included a picture of the machine…

Hello! This coming Sunday is historically the highest attended Sunday of the year. With so many new faces on campus, we want to make sure that we are high in hospitality.
We are looking for additional volunteers to serve this Sunday on the hospitality team. Would you be willing to greet in the parking lot, at the entry doors, or inside of the building?
Let us know that you are ready to jump in. We will let you know where the needs are.

I cannot wait to get back! I will see you guys Sunday and it is going to be the most memorable baptism service you may ever see…
On a “connecting with culture” idea, be thinking of who to invite for Easter. It is the once-a-year fix for many. It is the easiest time to ask a friend to join us. We start a new series that Sunday called Trading Places… It is going to be powerful and impacting to everyone and many will come back once they hear it…
Here is the question of the week: Why do so many people choose to come on Easter and not again the rest of the year?
Your thoughts:
