O what a night!

Hi guys. Well FRC had an awesome beach baptism at Hollywood beach and we baptised 209 people(after Easter 2008's baptism of 500 plus i didn't know if there was anybody left!). This was the first! Our team played a concert at the band shell which was seen by thousands. Pastor Marc did a great job with song selection and getting the band and tech at peak performance. Our own Brittany Marie sang Not gonna write you a love song by Sarah Borelli. Way to go Britty. It was a memorable night!

1 of the books I'm reading

Branding faith is similar to Godin's All marketers are liars. Here's a good definition of branding: it's how we tell our story in a compelling way. The author, Phil Cooke says..."Throughout history, leaders and communicators have struggled against the various cultures in which they found themselves. In every case, anyone who attempted to present their message in a relevant way knew they had to recognize and understand the cultural framework of the time in order to be a more effective communicator." Veeeery true. We, as the church, have been waaaay past due to make the cultural connection with the society in which we live and we have created a subculture, of sorts, that is similar to the alternate 1985 in Back to the future 2-Ouch. Check out the book...it rocks!

What's for breakfast?

Today Lauren, Andres and I made breakfast at home. When we were done I asked Andres what his favorite breakfast was growing up...he said fresh squeezed OJ with eggs and bacon. Lauren said "when Momma used to make us sugar toast." Mine was when my Dad made pancakes(Mom, i'm sure that's a rip off for all the breakfast's you made me-especially so close to Mother's day!!). Sharon's was when her Mom made animal and letter-shaped pancakes. It was a cool time together and we made a memory! Soooo what's your favorite breakfast growing up???
