I’ve not written much about my new job yet, mostly because I’m still figuring things out and there hasn’t been a lot to say.  Tonight’s community group leader’s meeting was maybe the biggest thing I’ve done yet in my new position.  The first anything in a new job is always a bit odd, but I was really happy with how things went.  I was hoping the meeting wouldn’t just be me talking at folks but that we’d have some good interaction.  That’s what happened.

I’m very impressed with the people who make up this team of community group leaders.  These folks obviously care deeply about community and want to be intentional in making it happen in their groups.  There are certainly areas for us to be more intentional as we pursue this value, but I feel good our prospects with this group of leaders.

The meeting almost got started off poorly when I locked myself out on the fire escape (don’t ask)… but I was able to crawl through the men’s bathroom window to get back in the building.  Pretty funny after I was back in the office.
