No Room in the Inn-side
Last night we had a record attendance at our church as our small auditorium was filled way past capacity. The Christmas Cantata drew about 150 plus the 50 member cast. “Standing room only” does not do justice to the sardine-like feel in the place. There is an energy, restless energy mind you, but a powerful oomph that reverberates in sharing the story of Christmas in such a venue. Some frustrated late arrivals left when entry was impossible. I guess you could say there was no room in the inn-side.
Getsamani Baptist has some exciting plans for this next year including its first attempt at strategic planning. Just to get to the point of considering such “nonsense” has been laborious and fraught with cultural mistakes—mine that is. Cascading is a technical term that refers to trickling down strategy through all levels of the organization. Waterfalls also cascade and we feel like we have been swimming upstream with the effort, like the salmons with not quite enough vigor to make it over the top.
Your prayers will help. We want to wish you a Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year and hope that you have enough oomph and vigor to overcome the challenges of 2010.
