Come On Home

Well - I planned on having the theme sewed up already...but Danny Figgins threw a wrench in the works.

Danny noted on a previous entry that he has a song entitled "Come On Home" that may work well as a theme. I wholeheartedly agree! I believe many of us have heard the song performed at service. I'm trying to figure out how to upload it to the blog here, but am not feeling too secure in my net saavy.

If you'd like to get the song directly from Danny, shoot him an email to danpatfig@hotmail.com. Be aware though...it's 4 megs.

Come on home...come on home... Has a nice ring to it, no?

Even more theme ideas!

A few more to ponder:

Faith Built
Foundation of Faith
Upon this Rock
Formed by Faith
Living Habitat
Spiritual Habitat
A Time to Elevate

From Aaron Butler:

The Road Home
Ask and Imagine
Journey of Faith
Built on the Rock
Dedicated to the Lord
In my Father's House

I'm still leaning toward Elevate your Faith...so....I need some convincing!

Theme redux

Keep in mind the theme for our stewardship journey with be with us for the next three years. It should be something that inspires and keeps spiritual momentum throughout the process.

So far, we've had two new theme titles suggested:

Heading Home
Homeward Bound

People seem to drawn to the concept of "home" in the theme...

Also, Forward by Faith, Elevate your Faith, and the Journey Home have received positive responses.

Thanks for the feedback so far - please keep it coming. We should get this wrapped up by tomorrow morning, so keep those thinking caps on!

One more thing - please keep praying that God will lead us in all of this. Pray for all involved to be listening intently to the Spirit's direction. This is an exciting time for all of us, and a great opportunity to draw near the Lord and glorify him with great faith!

Campaign Theme

The RSI campaign is in full swing. We had a great meeting tonight with Roger Boatman, who’s the representative from RSI leading us on our stewardship journey.

During our meeting it became apparent that we needed to decide on a title and them for our program as soon as possible. Many ideas were bandied about and I think it’s best to make this as collaborative an effort as possible. Please look over the campaign titles suggested so far and let me know your thoughts. Also, if you have other suggestions, please send those along as well. Here’s what we have as of now:

Show me the wonder (this one has the benefit of naturally linking to Brian Craig’s song as our theme)
Forward by Faith (this one was used by another church using RSI)
The Journey Home
Elevate your Faith (this is my favorite so far – it has multiple positive connotations)
Here am I (reference to Isaiah “Here am I send me”)

This needs to be firmed up in the next couple of days, so please, send your comments and suggestions along!
