Today is day 2 of The Leadership Summit. This is an event that PCC has made a priority and has attended every year since our inception. It is a very important piece of leadership development for our church.
This year, 48 people from PCC are attending this two day event, hosted by St. Paul's Baptist Church in Mechanicsville and broadcast live via satellite from Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago.
If it doesn't sound exciting to you, it's because you...aren't here. Seriously, you cannot imagine the way this time energizes our leaders and ultimately our church if you have never been. (Why don't you consider making plans now to attend next year's Summit - August 6-7, 2009) I would rather be here than anywhere in the world on these 2 days every year. This is not a 'repeating' seminar. In other words, Willow is committed to all new material every single year. So the summit never gets old, never gets stale and is always able to engage with what is happening today, right now, where we live.
As I reflect on yesterdays speakers and read a couple of the emails that our own folks have sent, it is obvious to me that God is doing something. The winds of His Spirit are blowing. How can anything be more exciting than the anticipation of God doing something new! Knowing this makes me feel alive!
Every PCC person was invited to come with us (through the Sunday program, weekly email annoucements, e-newsletter, etc.), but many are not able because the Summit happens on a Thursday and Friday. Still, many of our leaders are here.
Tonight, we will have a dinner together and talk specifically about where our church is heading and how we can reach our fullest potential. I love hearing from them as they share their thoughts and ideas. I'm really looking forward to today.

So, please pray for those leaders who are here, the speakers on the schedule, the worship that will happen. Pray that our hearts will be open and ready for God to speak. Pray that we will have the courage to go where He leads us.

For those of us who very much wanted to be there, but could not attend due to other commitments, can we have a short meeting sometime soon (perhaps after second service, as the missions folks have been doing) to report back on what y'all learned at the summit and how it has impacted those who attended and possible direction for PCC? I can't wait to hear about it all!
