On the surface, the upcoming Christmas Walk-Thru may look like an outreach organized and carried out solely by the Worship Arts ministry. But I'm thrilled to reveal that behind the scenes it is an all-out team effort. Indirectly, a majority of the Grace Church ministries are contributing to the effort in different capacities. It's been encouraging to see volunteers and paid staff alike, pitching in, solving problems for the sake of this church-wide outreach. It's exciting to be a part of an effort like this.
And while we aren't ready to start publicizing anything yet, early indications are that we as a team are very interested in creating more outreach opportunities like the Christmas Walk-Thru in 2006. Pastor Scott led an exciting brainstorm meeting earlier this week to begin developing outreach concepts for 2006 as a follow-up to the success of The Road to Grace initiative in 2005.
I'm so excited.
