In the month of October I will lead a group on leadership on Wednesday nights at SGC from 6:30 to 8pm. We will rally our learning around the book, Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders. With more than 500,000 in print, it has proven itself a timeless classic in teaching the principles of leadership. Sanders presents and illustrates those principles through biographies of eminent men such as Moses, Nehemiah, Paul, David Livingstone, and Charles Spurgeon. You can download this book for free here. You will be asked to create an account before you order, then enter SEP2010 in the coupon space provided at check-out. I hope to see you there starting October 6th.

Starting Saturday Sept. 11th at SGC

Thanks to our friends at GCC who have generously guided us through some of the early dealings of making a monthly commitment to serve the community. They have been serving on the 2nd Saturday of most every month for the last five years. That's commitment What they have given us has been much wise counsel, their blessing to use an idea they've worked hard to shape, plus this nifty logo. SGC (Southgate Church) has also been hugely impacted by Dino Rizzo's book, "Servolution." So, 2nd Saturday offers us one way to start a revolution through serving. We will kick it off next week in anticipation that other churches will come along for the ride. What if all through our city on the 2nd Saturday of each month the church (made up of many congregations) was visible offering help, service, ministry, etc to people and organizations that have had to cut budgets or simply need a hand getting a job done? Wouldn't that be an amazing show of unity and care for others? I think so, too!
