Now Batting

Yesterday afternoon we had ten people attend StoneBridge 101 (Discovering Membership) class. If all ten follow through with their commitment we will have 27 members who have gone through the course and have committed to the vision, doctrines, values, and mission of StoneBridge Baptist Church.

Russell and I are excited to see God work in and through our church, but there is always this feeling that we've not done enough. There is a church in the DC area who says, "Work like it depends on you, and Pray like it depends on God." I don't think we did enough of either one (work or pray) concerning the 101 class that took place yesterday.

One of our Core Values is Excellence. Since Excellence is a Core Value we should strive to be up to par every time we step up to the plate. The 101 class was definitely not up to par. We had several mistakes in the curriculum, our presentations were dull, and the atmosphere was not conducive to a three hour class learning the basic principles of our church.

With that being said, it is a goal of ours to revamp the curriculum and be ready to hit the homerun ball the next time we are up to bat.
