While many people at Grace probably assume our worship leader Chad has been part of staff for a while, his first official day as a paid staff member was today. Today he attended his first Grace staff meeting, started getting his office ready, all the typical first day kind of stuff. I took him to lunch to start getting him used to some of the local restaurants, and so over a couple slices and a coke we went over paperwork.
The combination of staff meeting today plus some of our discussions as people flowed in and out of the conference room today created a cool buzz. We were forward looking but also with a heart of care and concern to be responsible with the many hearts and souls and good people God has given us. But if we only focus inward we're not fulfilling God's plan for us as a church. Today we talked about some great and fun and cool ideas. Bringing Chad on board is one next step, and he's got some great ideas and great plans to implement them. Plus, it's going to be awesome for me to have a great friend to hang out with. My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know Chad and Hilary, and we're all pumped about worship. We're ready to take worship at Grace to the next level. Also, with some of our staff's schedules, it's sometimes a little too quiet at the office. It'll be nice to have him around on those quiet afternoons.
