WELLTOLD
1. Brett – shared about guy he works with inviting him to be apart of The Well
- Had 5 survey responses on website from passing out cards at Dickens on the Blvd
- Received an unexpected offering from partnering church
- Received over $2000 from Gateway Fellowship offering in TX
- Perhaps the biggest suprise was in today’s Claremore Progress paper – they had an article written about churches meeting in theaters – they specifically noted one starting at the Cinema 8 in February – The Well! They even placed our website in it – free advertising and continued buzz! Thank Christ for his favor.
- Ricky shared our group strategy as he met with Brad and Morgan this afternoon to nail down the bolts of what this will look like in creating environments of authentic community. We will only do two things at the Well and everything will flow out of them: gatherings and groups.
WELLTIMED
We focused much of our attention as a team brainstorming and planning for our upcoming parade. The team agreed to once again pick up trash and discussed passing out water bottles with our logo w/ survey cards attached. Brett mentioned making trash pickers from work & the team delegated responsibilities.

WELLTAUGHT
As a team we read 1 Corinthians 12 and shared our observations. Ricky read a page from the book: The Greatest Thing in the World by Henry Drummond. We challenged each other to read this chapter everyday this week and apply it as we take a back seat in all of our relationships. Ricky shared of one of the greatest acts of love in which he received a gift card this past Sunday from a Hurricane Katrina victim.
