Wow! Where do I start? I had planned on doing an update for some time, but so many people keep stepping up there game, I didn’t know where to start! Here’s a few of the things that made me proud to be a part of Dialogue Church…

1) Steve and Connie Smith–(as most of you now know) pulled some strings with Connie’s boss and got us an incredible deal on a meeting place for Dialogue Church!! Get this: $100 per MONTH for a great location with room to grow!! Man, do I feel stupid for getting bummed out about the Dinner…Thanks Steve and Connie!

2) Kimberly Spieldenner–did a heck of a job putting together some offering envelopes. If you haven’t picked one up, you need to! She (and her family) looked up quotes about Jesus on the internet, then added a different quote to each envelope. There are something like 20 different ones! Quotes range from Ghandi to MLK Jr. They are very inspiring and extremely well done! Great job, Kimberly!

3) Keith Spieldenner–got inspired and made a cash register program for our rummage sale! You won’t believe it until you see it. Each transaction is totaled, recorded, and printed out for the customer. Plus, if the customer desires, the program will take their picture and recored their contact information so we can keep them informed about Dialogue Church!! Amazing…

4) Amanda Shamblin–did a crazy good job Sunday night at our Start-up Team Meeting leading a discussion about our finance team. She outlined Dialogue Church’s responsibility to be good stewards of the monies we’re entrusted with. She also provided Purchase Authorization and Reimbursement Request forms for us all. I’ve tried to get her to talk in front of people a thousand times and she always says “no”…now we KNOW she can do it! (She’ll be preaching on a Sunday morning soon…)

5) Shawn Hinds–is in charge of staging and she designed an incredible (and low budget) set for us to use on Sundays. She is working to get us some super-good deals on some banners, and her husband (Bill) is building some aesthetic elements to help create atmosphere. I can’t wait to see it!!

Thanks to everyone for making this a team effort! I could go on and on about this person or that person, but suffice it to say that I couldn’t do this with out you! This is just one more example of how “We are stronger together than we are apart!”
