Off to Camp

I am off to Victory Jam summer camp this week. We are taking five kids which is a big group for us. I do hope God uses this in the lives of our students. Pray for me as I am stuck in a room with a bunch of middle school boys for the week. By the end of the week, the room smells a bit rank. In all honesty, I look forward to the opportunity of investing into these kids lives. Several of these kids carry some deeps wounds from living in a fallen world. I hope Jesus will awaken their hearts to see Him.

Reform and Resurge Conference

I am currently listening to the Reform and Resurge conference that Mars Hill Church sponsored back in May. You can download several of the messages for free. I especially like Darrin Patrick's message "The Life and Death of the Missional Leader." It is a very challenging message to listen to. Especially for those of us who think ministry is about accomplishment, self-fulfillment (ie your own glory). Check it out and let me know what you think.

Hello

Okay, I am back from the dead. It has been almost two months since I have blogged. I struggle with this blog thing because I feel I have nothing to say. I was graciously reminded that a blogpost doesn't have to be profound. Also, I am not that profound. So, I am going to try to be normal and tell you what is going on in the McMullen household. Part of my blog hiatus has been due to my crazy life. The pastor of our church has been on Sabbatical since May 1st and I have been taking a big chunk of the responsibilities he has. I feel like I am starting to get a hang of the workload. I am really appreciative for the opportunity to serve the church in this way. I am getting a taste of what it means to be a senior pastor and the responsibilty that is involved with that. It also has made me aware of some of my strengths and weakness I haven't noticed before. The summer is in full swing and I am busy trying to get into people's lives and steer this thing we call the church. It is very interesting. I would appreciate your prayers.
