I found it very easy to read, and educational for someone who is not in the same line of work.brooke@KnowYourStoryhttp://www.knowyourstory.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670215.post-36147345139690648932010-05-05T07:44:31.537-04:002010-05-05T07:44:31.537-04:00Larry, nice to meet you and thanks for your input!...Larry, nice to meet you and thanks for your input!

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad ...Hi Stuart. Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you suggested starting with longest out first. That is my next goal to move our planning meetings to working that way. It would seem like the easiest thing to knock out in the meeting would be the Big Idea for 5 weeks out and keep planning from 5 to the upcoming week. This is actually what keeps us from staying on the plan because if the meeting runs long it is weeks 4 and 5 that get skipped. Good thinking, thanks for posting!Deana Kistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164206148539548417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670215.post-10482576115405306492010-05-05T07:40:12.549-04:002010-05-05T07:40:12.549-04:00crispone, thanks for your feedback. Please note, ...crispone, thanks for your feedback. Please note, we did not start out that way. It actually took 5 years for us to *very* slowly get to this place. I do, strongly, feel that the best way to approach our planning is with as much advance planning as possible so I stuck with it and, over time found myself surrounded by more and more team members who embraced the idea. Now we all (sometimes they push me) push to stay on track. It truly has become a part of the culture not just a mandate on my part. Keep working toward it and cast vision for every single time it has worked in your favor.Deana Kistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164206148539548417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670215.post-26032085477295754312010-05-05T05:31:57.824-04:002010-05-05T05:31:57.824-04:00Good list post.

I have found that the further in advance you plan the more creative everyone becomes.<br /><br />Dropped in from 31DBBB.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390574971600141206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670215.post-40226317137645291592010-05-05T03:21:52.824-04:002010-05-05T03:21:52.824-04:00I think it must be a general disease amongst pasto...I think it must be a general disease amongst pastors, as the church I attend is on its 2nd in the 22yrs I've been there - and he is just as disorganised as the first.<br /><br />Great list though and I agree with crispone - start your list with the longest one out first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13670215.post-11690445661477843822010-05-04T22:14:53.043-04:002010-05-04T22:14:53.043-04:00I like this format, and I'm jealous that you&#...I like this format, and I'm jealous that you're at a church that starts planning five weeks out.<br /><br />The title of your blog is amusing because although I'm a musician (I'm the music and media guy at our church), I find that I'm wanting more organization. <br /><br />I work with two very non-organized pastors and although they <i>occasionally</i> plan sermon themes in advance, nothing else, except for big services like Easter, gets planned more than a week ahead. This keeps us from being very intentional and creative.<br /><br />Perhaps I'll pitch your outline to them ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
