Building Momentum, "In the Life of Your Church"

Just some things that you can do...

1. Begin a visioning team and process for your church.
2. Launch a new ministry to reach out to the community.
3. Start a small group for those that are willing and have the capability to launch their own small group. I called them "turbo groups." Can start a small group ministry from 0 to 60-80% in a very short time.
4. Divide the church up in small groups and do a church-wide study. It can do the same thing.
5. Get a new haircut and become a new kind of leader. Seriously.
6. Do a creative sermon series that kicks it all up a notch.
7. Deliberately try to up your quality level of worship over the long haul.
8. Start a new service.
9. Deal with your own angst and anger.
10. Be just a tad bit more positive and treat people just a tad bit nicer.
11. Just do one cool event that no one has ever done before. See what God does through it.
12. Celebrate people's accomplishments. Thank people.
13. Make eye contact and say hi to everyone you meet (Oh, you'd be surprised...).
14. Balance your church's budget and get them out of the red. "Right-size" your ministry. That can alleviate a lot of extra stress that no one needs.

Others??? Feel free to add your own in a comment...
