- Today was awesome! I mean seriously awesome! Great crowd. In fact, all the metrics went in the right direction.

- Shared the vision of Rocky River Church today from here going forward. That was so fun! I know there's probably a better word than "fun." But it was just that. And the crowd was into it. It reminded me of just how important it is to keep the vision HOT.

- Our Mission is the Great Commission of Christ - Matthew 28.

- Our Vision is "To give people the best opportunity possible to become fully committed, growing followers of Jesus Christ."

- We are living out Christ's mission and fulfilling our vision by connecting people to God (weekly worship), each other (small group), our community (personal ministry to the community and mission to the world) and the world (by investing and inviting lost people to come to Rocky River Church).

- Band and music was spot on today. WAY TO GO GUYS!

- I heard great things from children and student ministries.

- The setup up/break down teams were off the hook. I went long today and the break down boys still got us out of the school by 1:15. WOW!

- Great excitement today. A LOT OF ENERGY FROM OUR PEOPLE!

- We kick off a new series next week simply called "Blessed." Come learn how to live the kind of life that God's blesses.

- I am cranked up about VBS and Thirst Camp right around the corner. BOTH are going to be crazy awesome this summer.

- OUR STAFF IS ROCKING IT THESE DAYS! I mean we are getting it done!!!!! So blessed to work with Travis, Donnie, Erik and Teresa. AND I'm thankful for all our leaders and volunteers getting it done at The Rock. Keep it up!

- Got an exciting week coming up. Hoping and praying the permits are released for the building this week. MAN!

Let me close with this. I SO believe in the vision of our church. And I believe in the potential of every person at Rocky River Church. This summer I want to challenge you to be more committed to Christ, and faithful to our church than you have ever been before. Give God room this summer to do things in your life you never dared to even dream.
